Carol Hoenig: Where Will Books Find Their Champion?

I was part of a staff that helped open a Borders on Long Island. Back then, employees were required to take an intensive test to assess our knowledge about the products we'd be selling.
Carol Hoenig: The Value of Books To this day, I like to occasionally open my slim, tattered volume of Slaughterhouse Five that sits toward the end of my book case and read Kurt Vonnegut's personalized message to me.
Jay Weston: Obika: A Taste of Italy in LA The seductive voice with the lilting Italian accent was unmistakable -- my dear friend was calling to tell me about an amazing mozzarella bar that had just opened in Century City.
Mary Hall: Trashgate: Borders Dumping Books, Stop the Waste I am distressed to learn that Borders books may be dumping books when closing its Waldenbooks Specialty Retail group.
