[edit] History
Kramerbooks & Afterwords was opened in 1976 by Bill Kramer, who had previously managed his father's store, Sidney Kramer Books on I Street (which closed in 1997).
A branch of Kramerbooks was open in Arlington, Virginia during the 1990s.
The store came to national attention in 1997 during the Lewinsky scandal, when it successfully fought a subpoena from Kenneth Starr to disclose which books Monica Lewinsky had purchased.
