If you're a book reader, then you've probably heard of Borders book store. It was the second largest book store, and is now going out of business.

Basically, I don't give a shit about Borders, but I made this thread for anyone who lives near a Borders store and wanted to pick up some inexpensive books that will be available through the companies liquidation process. I'm not sure if they have any poker books, but there might be some good stuff to pick up for yourself or upcoming birthdays/holidays as presents, like the Fire and Ice series (Game of Thrones).

"Borders could not overcome competition from larger rival Barnes & Noble (BKS) and Amazon.com (AMZN), which began to dominate book retail when the industry shifted largely online. Borders, which had filed for Chapter 11 in February, also never was able to come up with an electronic reader like Amazon's Kindle and Barnes & Noble's Nook."

Borders here was terrible in almost every way possible compared to online. Limited selection, longer waits than Amazon for ordered books and way higher prices. I use Amazon or The Book Depository (just bought by Amazon) now.
