Well Borders is going out of business and I can say although I do buy books there I would not be a customer to keep them in business.
I went to the "40% Off Sale" only to not find anything marked 40% off. The signs on the store say Up To 40 % off. So was not the big sale that I was hoping to find and not many quilt books to be had. Got a cook book for 10% off and some motivational books for 20% off.
Oh well. :(

When a big company goes out of business like that, they hire a company to come in and liquidate the inventory. In most cases, the liquidation company comes in and actually RAISES the original prices on the items and then offers a measly discount.
