IT’S A bestseller in shops across the country, but it seems Dan Brown’s new book, The Lost Symbol, is causing more damage to the book industry than good.

'The Lost Symbol', Dan Brown’s long-awaited follow-up to 'The Da Vinci Code', sold more than one copy every second in its first five days of release, the publishers said today.

CHICK-LIT novelist Cecelia Ahern’s latest book has sold more copies than all the six novels on the shortlist for the Man Booker Prize.
