Lost of Math Section

At Borders on State street, on 3rd floor, there used to be a small bookshelf dedicated to mathematics. Some are study guides (practice problem books), some are "All You Ever Need To Know About Math" books with very elementary school stuff, some are very advanced stuff that I can hardly make any sense of. (Yes, for most people, elementary school stuff is really all you need)

A few weeks ago I went there all the books are gone, the shelf is there with a sign saying "this section is under re-arrangement" or something like that. A few days ago, the shelf is totally gone, replaced by a bench. Looks like they simply get a carpenter and turn the shelf into the bench. I can't find the math section anymore. It is gone. Oh, are the books in the discount bin? Nope, didn't see either.

That means there are so few customers for that section that the bookstore decide to eliminate it. Oh well. I'll look elsewhere.

They are closing that Borders store soon. Not just the math section. The entire store will be gone.
