So how quickly does Borders drop its liquidation prices? The one near me is at 25% off right now, but fuck, I can still get stuff cheaper off of Amazon.

Oh indeed, mate. I was looking at a book on c++: $40 at borders and $18 on amazon.

The longer you wait, the more discount, but also the fewer nice titles. I went to one during %50 range, and swath of great authors are gone. Impossible to find a Joyce, Camus, etc.

I found a Mythology by Yeats, which I was grateful for until I actually read it. It's just him telling old wives tales.

This is relevant to my interests.

I was at my Borders last week, and they were only at 20% off. When should I go back to get 50% off or more? Does anyone know?

I don't know the exact details, but I heard the philosophy section is cut down a good deal. That might be worth checking out.
