EL James’ new Fifty Shades of Grey spin-off novel has broken the first week UK sales record for adult books.
Grey sold 647,401 copies in its first three days, beating record holder Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol, which sold 551,000 copies in five days in 2009.
The book tells the same Fifty Shades story but from the perspective of male protagonist Christian Grey.
The author announced new novel Grey on 1 June, crediting its existence to persistent fans who had begged her for more from Mr Grey and love interest Anastasia Steele.
