Borders was a pretty big piece of the B&M book market, and a lot of us have fond memories of the place. It doesn't surprise me that people are freaking out. When Waldenbooks went downhill, I was pretty sad about that. I spent a lot of time in that store. After that, I didn't bother getting attached to any of the others. And to be honest, since Amazon, I haven't spent much time in a B&M book store. It's just so much cheaper and easier to order online, and quite a few of their books let you peak inside them as well. (Not that I had much luck picking good books from bad by peaking in them in the store anyhow.)
