Author Dan Brown will make only one promotional appearance for his new novel 'Inferno,' scheduled for release in May. Brown will appear at a televised event at Lincoln Center in Manhattan on May 15.

Doubleday is offering free copies of Dan Brown's blockbusting bestseller "The Da Vinci Code" on the 10th anniversary (that's tin, right?) of the book, reports The New York Times. The promotion started Monday and will run through January 24.

The new issue of "Da Vinci Code" contains the first chapter of Brown's news book "Inferno" at the end. "Inferno" will be released on May 14, and once again features Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon as its protagonist.

Brown will make only one promotional appearance for "Inferno." He will appear at Lincoln Center in Manhattan on May 15. The event will be televised and broadcasted to libraries and bookstores that are interested.

It appears that there are an unlimited number of free copies available of "The Da Vinci Code." Doubleday has ordered 4 million copies for the first printing of "Inferno."

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
