Borders Bookshop is coming back. Except that this time it is part of Popular Bookshop group. Borders, in the early days gave a relaxing environment and it got many books available for browsing. Popular bookshop is a more family oriented place that sells assesment books and stationary and school textbooks. It just remains to be seen how different can borders be. There was Harris and Prologue Bookshop, also part of Popular. Harris closed while Prologue is having a closing down sale. If they are banking on the Borders name, it will not be enough. They need to have the books, not just any books but books that was what made Borders. Hopefully it could survive the long run, regardless the type of books there.
