London/New York/Canada/Munich, 12/3/2004.

Dan Brown has literally outdone himself: For the first time in the history of bestseller lists, one and the same author is at Nos.1, 2, 3 and 4 in the “Sunday Times” list of paperback nonfiction bestsellers. Dan Brown’s “The Da Vinci Code” continues at the top, with Dan Brown’s “Deception Point” hard on its heels at No.2. Meanwhile, Mr. Brown’s “Angels And Demons” moved up two slots to No.3, where it hovers just above “Digital Fortress” (all Corgi), this week’s fourth bestseller by Dan Brown. And as if all that weren’t enough, the new deluxe illustrated edition of Brown’s “The Da Vinci Code” made its debut in the U.K. bestseller lists this week, bringing the author’s total to five. Bantam’s four-color publication “The Da Vinci Code: The Illustrated Edition,” with over 160 illustrations showing the symbols, architecture, art and maps of the historical sites the novel revolves around, enters the hardcover fiction list at No.9.
