All things considered I guess you don't have to buy it

I only recently learned that the Borders stores had shut down. I've never been inside one--I think I might have been inside a B&N while I was in the states but never a Borders--and I'm a little sad, not that it affects my life in any way but because future generations of off-Broadway fans will likely not understand the following words in "A Summer in Ohio":

I saw your book at a Borders in Kentucky
Under a sign that said "New and Recommended!"
I stole a look at your picture on the inside sleeve
And then I couldn't leave!
