Wow. Time to avoid Borders!

January 24th, 2010 Mark Leave a comment Go to comments

In the process of closing over 200 Waldenbooks locations the parent company Borders will be forced to dispose of a decent chunk of their inventory.  So what will they do with all of the books they can’t sell before the closing of the stores?  Tear the covers off of them (to prohibit them from being resold) and throw them away.  Seriously!  Check it out!

In a time when schools are facing huge budget cuts and many are going without, why are we filling the landfills up with perfectly good books?  Better yet, why not donate them to a charity that could pass them out to those who could really benefit?  What a waste…
