September 01, 2005: A Landmark California Bookstore Closes its Doors
"One of the Bay Area’s best known independent retail bookstores abruptly closed its doors Wednesday morning, shocking employees and customers.
Kepler’s Bookstore, at 1010 El Camino Real in Menlo Park, held a company meeting 9 a.m. yesterday to tell employees it would not open its doors. After 50 years in business, the store appears to be giving up its pricey location next to Cafe Barrone after years of increased competition with online book retailers."
