  Far too few of us are reading books. Many of us who do read books, are reading discounted books, on line books or books borrowed and passed around. Borders needs a revised business plan. Let's hope they have a good one.

  " . . . hiring four CEOs in 5 years without book-selling experience."

  This sounds a lot like Obama's hiring practices when it comes to czars and cabinet appointments.

  Love it...love it...love it.
  Borders ran all the old wonderful, dusty, "been there for a hundred years" book stores out of business and now it's their turn...."for all that take to the sword, shall perish with the sword"...Matthew 26:52.
  Now where are all the yuppie "beautiful people" going to congregate in thier Polo shirts and Birkenstock sandals. For the Arizona Left-wing/Liberal Democrats and so-called "Independents" (Independent my Aunt Fanny...the were lock-step with Obama's "Change" to Socialism Pogrom from the "get-go")...........lol.....this made my day....sorry for all the workers though...many have worked here since the 1980's.

  I have the pretty much full Arthor C Clark collection. I once even a sent a money order to Main for 3 books (mom and pop on the web). Recently i was kind of curious what they might worth so brought them to bookmans. They weren't interested to well read. Did not hurt my feelings to much but did, in a way of appreciating historic literature even if it is pulp fiction.
