A UK artist purposely sought out 6,000 copies of the Dan Brown book. He started the project several years ago when he heard the local Oxfam shop (an Oxford College charity/thrift shop) was no longer accepting copies of the book because they had so many copies. David Shrigley, noted UK artist, took the books, had them pulped, then reprinted George Orwell's 1984! He also included a piece of artwork. They're being sold to support Oxfam at 500 pounds each in a limited edition of 1250 copies.

George Orwell died 70 years ago and his work is now in the public domain in the UK.
