Updated: 2006-04-06 14:19  "The Da Vinci Code" is a smash in paperback.
More than 500,000 copies of Dan Brown's historical thriller sold in its first
week of paperback release, and an initial printing of 5 million has been upped
to 6 million, publisher Anchor Books told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
Russell Perreault, vice president and director of publicity for Anchor and

were the highest in memory for a paperback. Anchor/Vintage has issued Bill
Clinton's "My Life" and numerous Oprah Winfrey picks, including James Frey's "A
Million Little Pieces" and Rohinton Mistry's "A Fine Balance."
