Picador’s bestselling title this month is Guernica by Dave Boling, a ‘heart-rending yet life-affirming story’ of a Basque family caught up in the Spanish Civil War and especially the Luftwaffe bombing of Guernica in April 1937, and yesterday I met the author.

David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest is one of those books. You know it's good, important, worthy and will probably change your life and make you more attractive to the opposite sex. Yet, yet...somehow picking up a book the size of an oil tanker just doesn't seem like fun. Until now.

We have some gorgeous book covers published this summer - they're all exciting and high-impact and I can't honestly pick a favourite. (Apologies if you've already seen these via Twitter.)
