Perseus Distribution is handling sales as well as fulfillment for Grupo Planeta's Spanish-language edition of The Lost Symbol, El Simbolo Perdido. Planeta is printing 1 million copies for worldwide distribution of the $24.95 trade paperback. On sale date is not until November 24 because translation of the book could not begin until the publication of the English-language edition. Perseus reports "big commitments" from Barnes & Noble, Borders (including Borders in Puerto Rico), and such big box stores as Wal-mart, Target, and Costco.
