They even sell the furniture and book stools when you walk in their Paramatta shop in Westfields. Shame...
The administrator's plan was to close all but 9 of the Borders stores - most of them in Melbourne. Last I heard they could not get buyers for those 9 so they are closing them too.

Angus & Robertson have the same problem, but I haven't any details on whether some of them will survive.
