DC has plenty of places where you can buy a good book, but not all of them have the atmosphere and intelligent staff that Kramer's does. They have a wide selection of popular and alternative books on hand, and it's hard to resist their displays.
I have often bought books as gifts here, and there are always new ones that seem to bubble up out of nowhere. This place is the kind of crowded cozy bookstore where you could lose hours of your life just browsing.
