Dear Book Lover,

If knowledge is power, would could be more important than knowledge about power? As Gordon Brown takes the helm of the governing Labour Party, take some time to read up on the man who now leads Britain. You can also take an armchair safari with books on Kenya, go on a high-seas adventure with collectable pirate tales, and check out our most expensive books sold in June.

Happy Reading!
