I'll start with the standard disclaimer about having no relationship
with Borders except as a customer.
Their store in Tampa FL (but not in Tallahassee, yet) has quite a few
stations where you can scan the barcode on a CD and then listen with
headphones to the beginning of each track. The samples only last for
maybe less than a minute, but at least it gives you some idea about the
music.
I was able to pick up a copy of the new Pierne disc from Hyperion that
is the latest in their Romantic Piano Concerto Series. For some reason,
they did not stock it here until Dec 9 although a friend in Europe has
had his copy for several weeks. The Tallahassee store would not let me
reserve a copy since they were only getting one. That is apparently
their policy with some repertoire, but they usually seem to re-order
some CDs. I got my Pierne in Tampa and it was the only copy there too.
On the same note (shameless pun), their current (and expired) coupons
are available at:

The latest coupon was for 15% off, but did not apply to gift certificates.
Too bad, since I would have given one to myself for Christmas!
