It's that rushing sound at my back again, but time's winged chariot brings round a cause for celebration this week. As Independent Booksellers' Week comes around again, our lovely Flickr group is reaching out to Bristol, Penrith and even San Francisco. Take a look at the gallery of our favourites so far, and maybe this week we can push it out a little further afield. Anybody know any good bookshops in Paris? Or Cologne? Or Düsseldorf? Or Bogotá?
But if you haven't got a camera, you can join in our independent bookshop mapping nonetheless. This week we're building a tweet map of our book-buying hive mind. Just tweet us @guardianbooks with the title of the book you've bought, the name and postcode of the bookshop where you bought it and the hashtag #indybooks, and we'll assemble a map of independent action.
