A&R Whitcoulls (incl. Angus and Robertson, a.k.a. "Gus & Bob") have recently (June 2008) purchased Borders Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. Gus and Bob (as bookstores) seem to have gone off the boil over the last few years, so here's hoping the purchase injects some revitalising nutrient into them (and vice versa), and by extension into the concept of "competition", in spite of its reduction of same in number.

Cheers,
