What was this brown book, and why was it breaking records?
After a moment's thought, I came to the conclusion that it must be a book about (or possibly by) prime minister Gordon Brown.
Obviously, I was wrong: the book in question was Dan Brown's latest novel, The Lost Symbol. The cover does look fairly brown, though.
If the BBC cares about SEO, it really should include the title (or at least the name of the author) in the headline of an article about a book.

The least they could've done was toss in an 's so you know 'Brown' is a surname and not referring to the colour.
Yes, definitely.
Although I suppose the story was still the 9th most popular on the BBC News site, so it's not as if the headline stopped people finding it...
