Sold Everywhere But Borders | Rebecca Van Der Jagt

2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read

What happens when an international company goes out of business? Over 11,000 people learned the answer to this question when Borders Books and Music was bought out by liquidation companies in July of 2011 and closed all of their doors in September of the same year. Sold Everywhere But Borders details the liquidation of one Borders store located in Ramsey, New Jersey. The story of liquidation is told through the creative efforts of over ten employees and compiled by the unlikely narrator, Becca, who had only been working there for a little over a month before they heard the news. As he staff of Ramsey Borders (as the employees call it) trudge through the liquidation process with confidence and humor they learn that there is one thing that keeps them coming into work everyday: each other. A story of perseverance and family, Sold Everywhere But Borders will touch the hearts of ex-employees and ex-customers who loved and miss Borders."

so-so

I‘m not sure someone who only worked for Borders for a month before the company started liquidating was the best person to write a book about it...

Sold Everywhere But Borders | Rebecca Van Der Jagt

I spent 12 years of my life working at Borders. I met my husband there. Going through liquidation there was one of the worst things ever. It‘s a testament to how special that place was that I‘m still in touch with so many of my old coworkers. At my wedding, it‘s was bride‘s family, groom‘s family, and Borders family.

DGRachel I miss Borders so much. 7y

Cailey_Mac I remember when they closed the one near where I lived; I‘ve never felt such sadness than when I pulled into the parking lot and it was just gone š 7y
