Coming up: June 2-4, 2007

Here’s a look at some of the stories we’re working on for this weekend’s newspapers:
1. A new report confirms what every college student already knows: The cost of college textbooks is skyrocketing. Should Congress do anything about it? Bart Jansen, in our Washington bureau, is working on that one.
2. Want to buy an island? You can, off Saco, for $550,000. Seth Harkness will tell you all about it.
3. Staff Writers Kevin Wack and Josie Huang will publish a big package of stories and pictures about veterans health care in Maine in Sunday’s paper.
