Syracuse, N.Y.: Syracuse University Press, 2012. 427 pp. $29.95.Roy Kepler came of age during World War II, when he and his brother refused induction as conscientious objectors despite being religiously unaffiliated-a decision that led to his brother's death shortly after his release from prison and Roy Kepler's immersion in a succession of work camps evidently intended more to punish those who refused military service than to provide a meaningful alternative to it. After the war, Kepler remained an active pacifist nationally and at the University of Colorado, where he majored in history but decided against graduate school when he was told he had to choose between being an activist and being a scholar. He soon settled in northern California, where he spent the rest of his life.Kepler opened his eponymous bookstore in 1955, after a series of jobs including sales representative for paperback books. At the time, bookstores were rare outside of major cities, and many refused to carry paperbacks because they were seen as disreputable and cheap. Kepler's bookstore was a modest operation, offering periodicals and high-quality paperback books out of a small storefront on a Palo Alto commercial strip. From the start, he stocked the store eclectically, carrying works by Karl Marx as well as poetry and Playboy magazine. When he was able to hire staff, Kepler chose peace activists and others ill-suited for more conventional employment, but who helped give the bookstore its distinctive character. Doyle gives substantial attention to Ira Sandperl, Holly Chenery, and fellow C.O. Ralph Cohn. Kepler's bookstore soon, and repeatedly, moved to larger quarters, and also expanded to two outlets.Doyle portrays Kepler's as part of a trio of paperback pioneers in the San Francisco Bay Area. The others were City Lights and the now-defunct Cody's Books. Kepler's store was simultaneously a cultural center, nexus for the emerging counterculture and antiwar movement, and a business to which Kepler was committed in its own right and as a means to earning a living without unduly compromising his principles. Owning his own business enabled Kepler to dabble in tax resistance, spend weeks at a time building antiwar actions, and offer material support to fellow activists in need of a job. More than a store, Doyle argues in several chapters, Kepler's Books offered fertile ground for a wide array of new social forces-serving as a launching pad for the Grateful Dead and Ken Kesey's cross-country bus tour, inspiration to Stewart Brand's Whole Earth Catalog, and catalyst to the computer revolution. Chapter 19 is devoted to the nexus between Kepler's store, the counterculture, and computing rebels. …" @default.
