A locally-owned, independent book shop, Mechanicsburg Mystery Books Shop has been in business since October of 1990. Our initial inventory included only new books. Over the years, we’ve gradually added gifts, gift baskets/boxes/bags and used books to our growing inventory.

While we have thousands of used books in stock that range in condition from "Fair" or "Reading Copy Only" to "Near Fine" only those books that are rated at least "Good" up to and including "Near Fine" are on our website. If you are looking for a book you can’t find on our website, email us with the title and author and we will let you know if we have it on our shelves and the condition of the book.

Customer Service Goal
Our goal is to make your book selection process as simple and comprehensive as possible. If you have any questions regarding the status of your order, upcoming mysteries from your favorite author; if you can't remember a title or an author but remember the characters or what the book was about; please contact us and we will do our best to try to help you with your search. If you wish to call us outside our normal operating hours, please feel free to do so and leave a message on our Answer Call system or feel free to email your message to us.
