More sales for everybody (Score 1)

Having worked for a major chain bookstore since Da Vinci came out and actually being one who read it as an advanced copy, I am amazed that this is happening now. Da Vinci Code is due to be released as a paperback, both trade and mass market, sometime like the 15th of March, sorry can't remember exactly. Anyway, when it first came out it put Holy Blood, Holy Grail on the paperback bestseller list, virtually making that book a household name as well. So, why is it now that the authors decide to sue their publishing company. Are they afraid that they won't make a few more barrels of money once the long awaited paperback of Da Vinci Code comes out and their book is back in the spotlight. I know the company I work for is planning on having a huge Da Vinci display and their book will be prominently displayed.

So I guess I ask, is it all for publicity or have they been hiding under a stone for three years?
