My experience with stores that are closing is that often, they turn everything over to a liquidation company. That company will run the store until it closes, and they'll offer discounts, usually a percentage off of everything, but will no longer accept retailer coupons or retailer gift cards.
Yes, I think that's the usual way, but I wonder if it won't be different in this case because of the nature of the business. Rather than call in the all-purpose liquidators, why not leave the current staff, people who regularly sell books, in place for awhile to continue at it?
