ABOUT THIS COMPANY:
We're No. 2! (or No. 3, depending on how one measures)As it has clashed with Barnes & Noble, hoping to topple the No. 1 bookseller from its perch, Borders Group has battled on two fronts. It has concentrated on expanding its physical presence in the U.S. while building up its Internet business. The company operates about 1,100 stores around the world, including 500 Borders superstores in the U.S., 30 international Borders stores and approximately 530 Waldenbooks stores. (About 70 Borders and Books etc. shops in the U.K. were sold off in late 2007.) The group also owns Paperchase, a U.K. purveyor of stationery, cards and paper products.
