The view from Borders. I like to think they were doomed from the moment they decided that Toni Morrison and Iceberg Slim were in the same category.

Are they actually closing down? Because if so I need to go by the fancy one at Mathilda and El Camino in Sunnyvale before the jackals have picked the closing sale down to the bones. Problem is, I have never found Borders to have any books! When they opened one on the ground floor of the WTC with some fanfare, I went by and it was disconcerting. Not even a Star Trek paperback. Whereas until Barnes and Noble decided they were in the CD and coffee business, I would leave their flagship store with armloads of schwag. And then go across the street to the annex for the Star Trek paperbacks.

Anyway, the other reason I ask is I just gave the Wikipedia article on Borders a makeover in anticipation of a rush of editing if an announcement is out there somewhere where I couldn't find it, and it would be nice if I could get that announcement in there if it already exists rather than having to go back and check the spelling and punctuation again.

They appear to be circling the drain slowly.
