Nolo Press, which publishes do-it-yourself legal guides, plans to close its bricks-and-mortar bookstore in Berkeley, Calif., on April 28 as part of a transition to online-only sales at Nolo.com. The company is holding a 50% off sale in its store at 950 Parker St. from April 17 until closing day.
"Nolo has enjoyed tremendous support for our Berkeley bookstore from the local community for many years," said marketing manager Leilani Drost. "As a thank-you to the community, we are offering some terrific deals at the store before it closes, and we hope to see many of our neighbors stop by over the next few weeks."
Noting that all the company's books and software are available online and at bookstores, Nolo said it "remains true to the original vision and passion of its founders: to publish reliable, plain-English legal information that anyone can use--in print, and online."
