Apple Gift Card Question

I am not 100% sure, but my gut tells me no. That while iTunes and the App stores may operate under the same umbrella - and use the same gift cards - the actual apple store does not. That there's a difference betweeen selling applications and content and physical stuff.

You can ask iTunes support and see what they say

The way that I interpret this website, the Apple Stores have their own gift cards and an iTunes gift card will not work there. You can read it and see what you think.

You can get her 2 gift cards. An Apple Store Card, and an itunes Card. She can then use the iTunes or iBooks gift card to buy the book.

Call and double check, but let's say you bought her a $100 best buy gift card. She can go into best buy, use that card to buy the cover, then use the card also to buy an iTunes gift card (I'd double check with best buy but since gift cards are merchandise I don't see why they won't let you use a gift card to buy a gift card)

You can also gift content through iTUnes. so maybe that's another option for you. Purchase the card for the cover then go into iTunes and gift her the book? You'll need an e-mail that she can get the redeem code on.

I'm sure there are other ways to do it, but unfortunately I don't think it's possible in a single transaction.

If you wanted them things you would have to pay it with a credit card not a gift card as a gift can ONLY BE USED FOR APPS, FILMS/TV, MUSIC ETC THESE R THE ONLY THINGS YOU CAN BUY WITH YOUR GIFT CARD (and app purchases as well)
