This is not a good sign in my book.

Seems like Borders may be looking to sell itself off.   This just on the heels of news about their new concept store?

I'm not thrilled to hear of bookstores closing down.  Especially since I shop at Borders regularly.

You'd have thought they'd have consoldated finances and intended a turn around with the concept stores. I'm surprised to hear this so soon after the announcement.

Crap! Our Borders across from work just opened in December. They're much more convenient for my lunches than the Barnes & Noble off in the outside shopping center.

Plus, different selection.

Not good news - I hadn't heard about this. What's left? B&N...anything else? There are still some small bookstores around, of course.
