If you're near a closing Borders bookstore!

  • It's 40% off right now and I just bought a handful of great work DVDs for around $8 a piece: two BL videos, a Leslie Sansone and a Firm. They also had a bunch of diet books and cookbooks. Happy hunting!
  • thanks for the tip. I'll be on the lookout when I'm making my trek to visit the fiance.
  • The wall street branch in nyc is having a liquidation sale too! Most things are 30 to 60 percent off!
  • Alas, when ours closed a year ago, it was there one day, gone the next - I didn't spot any good deals!!!!!
    (Sad they've gone too, I liked the shop a lot. )
  • Thanks for the heads up! The store was pretty picked over, but I was able to find a Leslie Sansone DVD and a Eat Clean book. I had no idea that Borders had filed for bankruptcy. I have to admit I'm not too sad. We have an awesome local bookstore in Santa Cruz, and I was worried when Borders moved in a few years ago, it might have knocked them out. In fact, this was my first time going to the Santa Cruz Borders and guess also my last


  • Borders closing is bad news for writers.
  • I don't know ubergirl. I'm a writer and it's a bummer but I wouldn't say it's bad for me. I think the general economy is bad which means that publishers are more nervous about buying books and thus agents are taking on fewer clients. Although trends with ebooks show a segment of the population reading more than they ever had before (although publishers haven't figured out what that means to writers). Yeah, it's sad to see a bookstore close.
  • Totally unrelated but.....Wow Jessica! Congrats on your baby!!! I have definitely been away too long!
