Same here - stacked up on design books. Still loads of O'Reilly books left, plenty for you supergeeks. The queue was huge though. -
Damnit, walked past there yesterday but didn't see any signs advertising a sale, I wondered why it was so packed. Just assumed Bill Oddie was signing his latest book or something...

The queue was so big yesterday lunchtime that I went to the in-house Starbucks and read one of my books while it calmed down. (the joys of the bench!)

The huge store will be New Look’s second on Oxford Street.
Yesterday, a Borders UK spokeswoman said: “We have now agreed to sell the leasehold interest on five of our stores to a major fashion retailer.”
The five stores are Borders' flagship on Oxford Street, Llantrisant, London Colney, Dublin and Swindon.
For the year to 28 March 2009, New Look delivered total sales up by 14.9 per cent to £1.32bn to buck the downward trend in the sector. Its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation jumped by 10.2 per cent to £217.6m.
Founded in 1969, New Look now has 612 stores in the UK and Ireland, in addition to outlets in countries including France, Belgium, Russia and the United Arab Emirates. New Look declined to comment."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment
