You’re not going to believe the crap Borders are trying to pull with gift cards
February 18th, 2011 · 3 Comments · ebookstore news, redgroup
The parent company of the Australian Borders chain (no relation to the US chain) went into administration (the Australian equivalent of bankruptcy) yesterday.
