A loved and lost bookshop chain that was a browsing paradise for customers is still missed on Merseyside.
Today, bookworms in Liverpool are spoilt for choice with a number of brilliant independent bookshops and big brands to get their fix of classics, new releases, gifts and more. But years ago, before online shopping and reading on a tablet became as big as it is today, we made our way to Borders Books.
It's been over a decade since we last step foot into our local Borders, which stocked thousands of titles and magazines, as well as cards, CDs, DVDs and more. Borders first opened in the UK in 1997 and was originally owned by the US book giant of the same name.
