Secret Staircase Books began life in the fast lane in April
1992. We opened a charming storefront in the downtown of a small city
in the San Francisco Bay Area. In July 1995 we began serving our
customers via the Internet as well. This new venue has allowed us to
reach readers worldwide. We love mysteries and children's books as
much as you do, and we think you'll come to appreciate our expertise
and personalized service.
We love a challenge. Perhaps you only remember a couple of words of
the title, or just the author's name. For any book (mystery,
children's or otherwise), give us what information you have, and we
will try to track it down for you. There is no charge for special
orders.
In compliance with the governor of the Great State of California, we
are required to apply a sales tax to any book shipped within
the state. So far..... those living outside our state boundaries are
not charged sales tax.
Most books are shipped within 3 to 5 business days. We ship
via United Parcel Service (UPS). Your package is automatically
insured and you only pay the standard UPS charge--no extra packaging
or handling fees. For those customers who are considered local to
Palo Alto, California, we will deliver your books.
Do you want to give a book as a gift but don't know which one? We
will register a Gift Certificate for anyone, anywhere, in any
denomination. The recipient just contacts us (see below) and we ship
the book.
Birthdays, Holidays, Mother's Day (Dad too!), or just for
fun....everyone likes presents, so we'll giftwrap your
selection for free. Just tell us to whom it should be sent , and it's
done!
