Books-a-million is acquiring some of the Borders stores.  We go to Barnes & Noble anyway.  My wife has a Nook Color, which also works with the Public Library.

Yes, a sad day, indeed. Sad  I'm hoping that Barnes & Noble will still stay afloat.  I'm guessing that their Nook business has helped out some in that respect.  Books stores are some of the favorite places that my wife and I like to hang out at.

Simon:

I'm sorry to see the Borders stores close as well.  The one here in Sacramento was always a great place to browse and relax.  They sponsored concerts and recitals, also.  There was always music going on during the weekend.  We've got Barnes & Noble also, but it's not quite the same thing.   The Borders here in Sacto also had a really good railroading book section. 

I'll miss them.

Sadly the Borders book store sell off is on the way.   Just picked up the Kalmbach modelling the 50's special for 40% off.   All mags are discounted at this level, so those of you that don't subscribe and like to pick up the odd copy now would be a good time to mosey into Borders.   I am sad to see them go, they are the only decent book store in my immediate area.
