What People Are Saying About Borders

Featured Review

Contributor

In Short – Originating in Ann Arbor, Mich., in 1971, this international bookstore chain is known for its vast selection of books, movies and music, as well as a comfortable atmosphere. Cozy chairs, scattered tables and music listening stations invite customers to explore and stay awhile. Book and music selections are tailored to the community, giving the shop a local feel. The knowledgeable staff and Title Sleuth inventory computer stations aid inquisitive shoppers.

Editor's Tips

BEWARE - CORPORATE SCAM

by jEFOO at Citysearch

The Downtown Seattle Borders is running a corporate scam where they hide information about what is not included in their return policies in fine print off to the side of the counter. The manager appears to have trained the staff well to run the scam. Don’t shop here!

  • Pros: NONE
  • Cons: CORPORATE STORE WITH SCAM
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Chill, relax, and enjoy...

If you need to kill time. go to Borders. Get engrossed in a book, flip through the magazines, or listen to the lastest tunes. With so many books, cds, and dvds to choose from, this is the one stop place. You can also sit in the cafe and have a latte. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, warm and ambient. Come in and let you imagine carry you away with a good book. Don't forget to check out the bargain books as well....you will find great deals.

  • Pros: selection, atmosphere, price
