Bad News for Borders

Ooh, I’d been waiting for this: Borders Book Stores is facing a cash crunch and may put itself up for sale (link). As a compulsive patron of bookstore coffee shops, with or without WiFi, I’ve had a feeling that business has not been so hot. Some of them do okay—the one next to the University campus in Palookaville is always packed, and not only with Asian students doing their Organic Chem homework. But there are others where you could fire a cannon down the aisle and never hurt a soul except the restocking clerk. Maybe the ticket is to hunker down in the campus locations and let the other ones go.
Fn: Looks like Barnes & Noble is doing even worse. That's bad too, but Borders is, or has been, a cooler place to hang out in.
