The store had wooden floors.<BR/><BR/>I was told it was the Borders.com address that would show the big changes and take it away from Amazon. Sorry I was not clear on that.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on your forthcoming book. Sounds very intriguing.<BR/><BR/>tpsTPShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07613663983162109098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378699042434857883.post-68185113915665111462008-03-24T06:28:00.000-07:002008-03-24T06:28:00.000-07:00Ted,Thanks for the recent posting about the goings...Ted,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the recent posting about the goings-on at Borders...isn't it interesting that "brands" and firms that we take for granted are not necessarily permanent? When I was a kid, Montgomery Wards was a giant, as was K-Mart, and other fixtures, but they have gone by the wayside. We'll have to wait and see what happens with Borders.<BR/><BR/>As for "Borders.com" I understand the point you are making that it actually takes you to an amazon site; however, I have often used "www.bordersstores.com" which seems to lack the amazon branding and allows you to search store inventories, reserve copies, etc.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the SUPER work!<BR/><BR/>All My Best,<BR/><BR/>Jim Schmidt<BR/>http://civilwarmed.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>NB: Speaking of brands that *do* live on, you may be interested in my forthcoming book, *Lincoln's Labels: America's Best Known Brands and the Civil War* (Edinborough Press, 2008) which will be published this spring. jmsJim Schmidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03635615531025513644noreply@blogger.com
