If I bought a book for a gift from the Chicago bookstore can thr recipient return it to the DC store?

Do call them.

Not sure. You'd better call them

A wonderful place to visit in DC regardless.

Kramer is a locally owned store. I do not think there is a Chicago store

Im not sure that they are the same shop? I couldn't find a Kramer books in chicago. But either way...you may need to call them for an answer.
