And in Chapter 11, the bookstore closes

Borders Books, which filed for bankruptcy protection this morning, will close its Back Bay and Wayside Commons (Burlington) stores, according to this list on the Wall Street Journal website. (Click on the 'Zip Code' header to put all the Massachusetts stores at the top.)

The Downtown Boston and Cambridgeside Galleria stores are safe -- for now. But if you have a Borders gift card sitting around, today would be a good time to spend it, before the stores' inventory begins to deplete.
