Thanks for the heads up. I have at least $70 of items (borders bucks)on backorder to be shipped in 2-4 weeks. Am I crazy if i wait, or should i immediately cancel those items, and order anything that is in stock? Please advise.

Waiting is definitely a risk, this seems immediate.  Stores closing as early as this Friday.  Complete liquidation by September.

I hope Artscroll got paid for all those Shas sets...

Should we expect to see deep discounts on books they have in stock?

Just called borders and they said my shas is still coming. Don't know whether to keep my hopes up or not.

Dan, please remind all those on the main site, that today is the last day to use up any Borders bucks.

I'd be extremely surprised if they ship a Shas now.
