Borders to Shut Down

Borders to Shut Down - WSJ.com: "Borders Group Inc. said it would liquidate after the second-largest U.S. bookstore chain failed to receive any offers to save it."

Hat tip to Tom Neary.

Expected...but depressing.

Sad day for the Blushing Bride and me since the only good brick and mortar store w/in driving distance is a Borders (opened just four years ago). Now we have to drive twice as far to B&N or even a satisfactory indie store.

Sad days indeed.

I ditto Benjie's comment. Borders was the closest book store to us and it was 45 minutes away. Next closest store is the B&N in Annapolis, which is over an hour away. The only independent book store by us closed several months ago.

**sigh**
