Apologies, esteemed readers, for this very late edition. LJ moved downtown during BookExpo America and is transitioning to a new deployment system, so no images or consistent formatting. We promise to get pretty again soon. In the meantime, we’ve got worthy content: a brisk BEA postmortem, scintillating titles for Father’s Day and Gay Pride Month, and a juicy Prepub Exploded and Classic Returns. Before I sign off, our new contact info: 160 Varick St., 11th fl., New York, NY 10013; phone: (646) 380-0700; FAX: (646) 380-0756. Thanks for your patience.—Heather McCormack
