Barnes & Noble Considers Borders Acquisition
May 22nd, 2008
Barnes & Noble, Inc., has assembled a team of executives and advisors to review purchasing Borders Group, Inc, the number two bookstore operator, which put itself up for sale in March. A combined B&N and BGI — if federal regulators allowed it — would control roughly a third of the retail book market. The Wall Street Journal (May 21, 2008) Paid subscription may be required.
