Borders Bankruptcy

alphabassettgrrl · 02-19-2011, 01:41 AM

There were two Borders stores near us; one closed in January, the other just announced its closing.

::sigh::

A coworker tonight moaned about the loss, but then goes on to talk about all the things she orders from online sites. Connection, yes? But she doesn't see it. Personally, I buy almost all my books from physical stores whenever possible. I like to touch it and flip through it before I buy it. Online just isn't the same. And no I don't care that I can save money or get free shipping. I like to look before I buy.
