Five autographed Chinese-language copies of the book 'The Lost Symbol' by American writer Dan Brown were put up for auction Friday on Yahoo! Taiwan. According to the China Times Publishing Company, all proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Christian charity World Vision to help the victims of quake-stricken Haiti. Bidding for the five books will run from Feb. 26 to March 7. Prior to the Taiwan publication of the fifth book by the bestselling author, the general editor of the publishing company Lin Sin-gin flew to the United States last month to interview the writer and obtained Brown's autograph in the books. 'Dan Brown is pleased to know that he has many readers in Taiwan, especially as the Chinese edition of 'The Da Vinci Code' has sold more than one million copies since it was published here in 2004, ' Lin said. Lin also mentioned that Brown expects to visit Taiwan some day to meet his readers. The film rights to 'The Lost Symbol' have been sold to Columbia Pictures. Award winning American actor Tom Hanks is expected to reprise his role as professor Robert Langdon in what will be the third film in a series based on Brown's books.
