Bordersstores.com - February 7th 2002.

This is the relatively hidden Borders Website from the early 2000s, a lot of it is very broken, so this is what i could salvage.

This is from around the same time they made a deal to pretty much sell the main Borders.com Domain to Amazon in order to "help" borders have an Online presence, similar to what other retailers like Toys R Us & HMV did, of course as we all know: this was a poor idea, and this one decision would essentially shoot borders in the back of the head.

by the time they established a proper website (Getting Borders.com back) in the mid-late 2000s, it was a case of too little too late, Borders hesitance based on a previous failure online essentially destroyed the company.
