Meanwhile, checks on the Borders Malaysia website found that its online store had been closed since May 31.

Borders Group Inc filed for bankruptcy in February 2011 and later liquidated all its stores. All its outlets in the US had shuttered operations by September that year.

Borders Malaysia is operated by Berjaya Books, a subsidiary of Berjaya Corporation Bhd.

Books expensive?

I don't want to reveal, but there is a lot of other ways I can get them second hand for free.

and then there are many pesta buku out there organized by Popular, MPH, Bookaccess to sell them cheaper.

Plus Bookexcess, though not so cheap but much cheaper compared to Tsutsaya.

Maybe the kind of book you prefer to read is still cheap.

The kind of book that I have been interested in are expensive.

Last time I can get what I want to read for RM40-60.

Now what I want to read can be RM80-RM100.

Again, we all have difference preference when it comes to reading, just like music.

I'm glad you found a free source for you to get the kind of books you like.
