It must be summer. Evanovich rules with a 1.5-million printing, while Clive Cussler and Paul Kemprecos’s latest underwater gambit aims high (650,000 copies) and Ann Brashares (of the Traveling Pants Sisterhood) gambles on her first adult novel (600,000 copies). In nonfiction, talk of Carl Bernstein’s Hilary Clinton bio and Tina Brown’s Princess Diana takedown should fire up the airwaves. In children’s books, favorite Jerry Spinelli returns and newcomer Melissa Marr splashes in.
