"We haven't been approached by Borders investment bankers, and if we are, we'll certainly take a good look at the company and put it under review," a Barnes & Noble executive said during its earnings conference call.

Borders said earlier Thursday that it was mulling possible options including a sale or some of all of its businesses.
