Did anyone hear that Borders books are closing their doors forever?
Where will I get my books from now? Are my only options ordering from Amazon or on-line? Or going to the library? Or searching through the limited selections at Target; Walmart; Walgreens; and little boutique bookstores that charge way over market price?
I'm so sad. Anyone sad with me?

I happen to love my Borders it was sort of a cacophony of disorganization. Kids everywhere, tables full of discounted books, sales people shouting and quiet corners with toys and games and comfy reading chairs. I don't have a B & N anymore. They closed that down long ago.

Yes! Borders is my preferred book store, sadly they are closing :( They sent out e-mails to all the borders rewards members and explained why. They will be having liquidation sales throughout all the stores until September I believe, now the only other book store I can think of is Barnes & Noble, although I always liked Borders a lot better. Hope you find a better source to get all your books!
Yes, I am sad as well. I am a Borders Rewards member, and I have saved tons of money over several purchases. Between e-mail coupons and "Border Bucks", I once bought a book that had a $15.95 face value for 62 cents. Just recently, I bought the latest George R. R. Martin book, "A Dance With Dragons", face value of $35, for $17.
There is a B & N nearby, but in this age of electronic books and on-line shopping, how much longer will it be around?
I don't know if they're all closing, but the one across the street is and I just found out today. I'm really depressed - I went in at lunchtime and everything is marked down. I guess I'll get some stuff after work, but I'm not too happy about it. There's a big one near Central Park, but I won't be in that area until I see my chiropractor in 2 weeks. Hopefully that one will stay open.
Unfortunately all Borders stores are definitely closing. Most will probably close for good some time in September, but it just depends how long it takes for stores to sell out of inventory.
