We at Guardian.co.uk/books have long nurtured an all-out obsession with bookshops - writing about them, photographing them and, with the help of the excellent folk at National Book Tokens, creating what we hope will be the UK's most comprehensive map of the best of them.

And with summer upon us, it's a fair bet that many of you will be spending a lot of time in bookshops, picking up the perfect times to while away the long, light evenings (or, if you're recession-stranded in the UK, those long wet nights under canvas). So tell us: which books will you be buying this summer - and which would you give to others wanting to escape?
