 Borders in general - Review - Borders Books
Most of the books are displayed on large bookcases, although in some areas of the store there are book displays on large tables.
Books are neatly categorised (it's just a matter of finding the right floor for each category), and since this is a rather imposing building of multiple floors, you're needs are more than likely to be catered for.
Personally, I prefer Borders to similar stores such as Waterstones as I feel there is more room to browse in (I always feel like the bookshelves are closing in on me in Waterstones!).

Nearly all Borders stores seem to be of a certain size (unlike B&N, where store size varies widely) which is a good sign for selection.
There is an obvious liberal slant to the books that Borders showcases at the main entrance as well as their 'so called best sellers list.' You have an abundance of 'Bush Bashing Books' but don't offer anything that is an alternative without an in-depth search.
I rate them fairly highly for their book selection, but ding them for knocking down independents (it happened in my town) and I also find their musical selection to be dismal for anyone interested in non-pop.

This enabled Borders to reduce the floor space needed to mount the equipment, minimize the material content of the electrical distribution equipment, lower the overall equipment cost, and contain associated labor installation charges.
