Borders Closing is Better Than a Post-Christmas Sale

If you’re feeling bookish, now is your last chance to grab some reads at a former landmark retailer. Borders is just days from closing, and almost everything in the store now costs only a few dollars.
If you think everything is picked over by now, think again. I just went there and I was still able to stock up. This is not a redux of the Tyson location’s closing, during which Borders transferred most of that store’s stock to other locations. Now the company’s warehouses are emptied which leaves plenty of great books, and even CDs, to be found.
To be fair, though, you do have to look pretty hard. If you’re looking for a quick trip you won’t get one. But if you want to comb the shelves looking for gems, each of which will only set you back a couple bucks, get there now.
