Borders vs Barnes & Noble

I just read a list last week of the Top Ten businesses which werethisclose to filing for bankruptcy protection, and unfortunately, Borders was one of them. The husband of one of my best friends in the manager at our local Borders.

I'm trying to remember the name of one that I used to love, in the DC area - was it Crown Books? Something like that - it was the first mega-bookstore I had ever seen!

Ouch, do you happen to have a link to this list? Borders is a great place for coffee and studying sessions!

It was one of those Yahoo! Top Ten lists last week, but I can't seem to find it this week. But there are several articles on Borders & bankruptcy, sadly.
