    Borders Going out of Business

    If you've had a book at your local Borders that you've wanted but didn't much like the price, they are going out of business now and currently everything is 20-40% off. Most books are still at the 20% level but it is expected this will increase very rapidly until the stock is all gone. I believe the plan is for the stores to be closed by the end of August.

    I hate seeing any bookstore close, especially one as large as Borders but no point letting the bargains disappear as well.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    History books are now 40% off, politics 60%, humor 50%. Most categories are 40% which is the minimum discount now. I think I'm done. Things are starting to get picked over pretty well in the topics I'm interested in. I got a few books I really didn't need but for the price they were hard to ignore, mostly the large format bargain type books.

    Everything including history books are now a minimum of 50% off. Couldn't stay away and picked up a couple of Osprey books dealing with various aspects of WWI. I love Osprey books but they are too blasted expensive. 50% off, still a bit expensive in my opinion for a paperback but not bad.

    Been going there once or twice a week since it all started. I'm going to have to build more book shelves.
