... be going out of business. I know, the world is not exactly suffering from a shortage of Borders locations, but this news saddens nonetheless.

BAM Sighting

We've got some of the closing Waldenbooks in my area, but today I heard that Books-A-Million is moving into at least two of them. Is this happening anywhere else? I'm wondering if they'll move in on the closing superstores, too, once that list comes out. A propos, has anyone heard anything about conditions at BAM?

Five things on a Sunday

Odd Lots

... BTW, this is for real; it's not a parody but an actual physics lesson. Borders is closing about 200 of its Waldenbooks mall stores in January. Here's a PDF list of stores to be closed . I'll admit that I haven't bought anything at a Waldenbooks store for many years, simply because they don't have the selection of the "big" Borders stores. (I also don't go...

Waldenbooks closing 200 stores in January

... the stores being closed so it's now official. One of the stores being closed is my local Waldenbooks, where I have numerous friends among the current and past employees. It's the place where I ... members of the local RWA chapter were always grateful for.
