And, frankly, almost all of the general books stores in the Financial District and Union Square area have closed in recent years (I think this will pretty much leave just Alexander Book Co. and the one in the Ferry Building) which suggests that maybe it isn't a good place for selling books.

I think Borders has Seattle's Best as their coffee provider.

I worked there for a very brief time as the cafe manager. I must admit that I kinda jumped the Borders ship two years ago. Doing the math, the Barnes and Noble card saved me money (even with the fee). It's also really near my house which is a mixed blessing... |

Damn "My" borders is one of the ones to be closed. Bummer. I can't understand why. It must have gone downhill in the last couple of years since I was last there.

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.

Their coupons always annoy me because you can't apply them to any sale merchandise. They will revert the cost to regular price, then apply any coupon. Lame.
