Look I know that Borders are like the Starbucks of the book world but hear me out.

I'm 'freelance' which means that sometimes I work and sometimes I don't - the times that I'm not working are times of frugality - flask's of coffee when I leave the house and minimum extravagance is a must.

However how does someone of little or no means keep up to date with industry news (yes I HAVE heard of the internet) - well you head to Borders magazine section, pile up all the magazines that you can carry and head to the first floor coffee shop and read until your heart's content - seriously its allowed! This also works for books and on any day at any time there are hoards of students with piles of books that they can't afford writing their dissertation or whatever - honestly its all good.
