Borders Bookstore Will Eliminate 11,000 Jobs, Close 400 Remaining Stores
Bankrupt Borders Group Inc said it has canceled its auction and will sell itself to a group of liquidators.
Borders announced the decision on Monday, saying it was not able to reach a deal for a going-concern sale to salvage its 400 remaining stores and 11,000 jobs.
A liquidation group led by Hilco Merchant Resources will begin liquidations as early as Friday, Borders said in a statement. The bookseller will seek bankruptcy court approval of the closing procedures at a hearing set for Thursday.

Very sad...Our own stores in Australia also closed down and seeing no books (just bare shelves) was awful...
