Product Description
One of the bestselling novels of all time, Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code has intrigued and thrilled millions of readers around the world. Now all the artwork, symbols, architecture, and historic locations—over 160 images—are beautifully compiled in this full-color collector’s edition.
A mind-bending code hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci.
A desperate race through the cathedrals and castles of Europe.
An astonishing truth concealed for centuries . . . unveiled at last.
While in Paris on business, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call. The elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, a baffling cipher found near the body. As Langdon and a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to discover a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci—clues visible for all to see and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.
The stakes are raised when Langdon uncovers a startling link: the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion—an actual secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci, among others. Langdon suspects they are on the hunt for a breathtaking historical secret, one that has proven through the centuries to be as enlightening as it is dangerous. In a frantic race through Paris, and beyond, Langdon and Neveu find themselves matching wits with a faceless powerbroker who appears to anticipate their every move. Unless they can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle, the Priory’s secret—and an explosive ancient truth—will be lost forever.
Instantly catapulted to the top of bestseller lists around the world, The Da Vinci Code is simultaneously lightning-paced, intelligent, and intricately layered with remarkable research and detail. From secrets embedded in the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper to the symbols of ancient Egypt, to the architecture of landmarks such as the Louvre, Westminster Abbey, Rosslyn Chapel, and more, this fully illustrated collector’s edition delivers the complete reading experience of Dan Brown’s riveting novel—from the opening pages to the unpredictable and stunning conclusion.

 Definitely worth a read June 27, 2008
As an atheist, I really enjoyed this NOVEL and I think most "normal" believers would absolutely love it as well. Well worth the read! Don't dis it before you read it all the way through like some morons around here.
 Provides A Dangerous, DECEPTIVE Twist On Bible Prophecy and Bible Scripture April 5, 2008

If only NO stars were an option.....
Out of desperation, people want to seek the truth about Christianity because of the chaos happening throughout this world for almost the past twenty years. THIS IS A FICTION NOVEL, therefore it is NOT TRUE!!!!!! Just because this "man" created this book does not make it true, especially when there's NO PROOF of his gnostic claims.
For anybody who wants CLARITY on Christianity, stop looking for sources OUTSIDE OF the Holy Bible. Stop wasting money on books like the "Da Vinci Code" AND PRAY TO GOD FOR CLARITY! THEN PICK UP YOUR HOLY BIBLE AND SEEK A STRONG PASTOR WHO WILL GIVE YOU GUIDANCE FOR ANYTHING YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! Stop wasting time reading a book like this and read your Holy Bible. Books like this were created to deceive the masses, and it seems to be working, unfortunately.
Dan, your book is FALSE, SO DON'T PRINT "FACT" AS THE FIRST WORD IN YOUR BOOK AND THEN PAWN IT OFF ON MILLIONS OF PEOPLE FOR PROFIT.
By the way.....the HOLY BIBLE IS, and will ALWAYS BE the best selling book of ALL TIMES, and obviously you need to read yours more often.
Very well done illustrated edition March 6, 2008
Unless you are a student of art history, the omnipresent imagery of the DaVinci Code can be overwhelming. I can envision the Mona Lisa, but who can visualize all the locations and artwork described in the book?
This is a very well done illustrated edition of the book. Many hundreds of illustrations, often more than one per page. Highly recommended if you want to read the DaVinci Code.
Black Sunday Book January 18, 2008
This is just what the description said. It arrived very quickly!! My son was thrilled to take it back home with him. THANKS
couldn't put it down December 31, 2007
I don't really get into reading books very often. Never seems to hold my attention, but this book was great. Could not put it down. The book writes much about symbolism and refers to many works of art so the illustrations help considerably. If you liked the movie, you will love the book. There is much more detail to learn of.
