Independent bookstore in Menlo Park, California
About
Kepler's Books and Magazines is an independent bookstore in Menlo Park, California. It was founded on May 14, 1955, by Roy Kepler, a peace activist who had endured multiple internments as a conscientious objector during World War II. Kepler previously had worked as a staff member of radio station KPFA, listener-supported and based in Berkeley. The bookstore "soon blossomed into a cultural epicenter and attracted loyal customers from the students and faculty of Stanford University and from other members of the surrounding communities who were interested in serious books and ideas."
