Bibliophiles.. These people know what they're doing. They Love Books and know what you want to see on their shelves. Why waste your time going to a "new" bookstore hoping vainly for a "pearl" when 2nd Chance has the Good Stuff?

Cozy and Personal Bookstore. Mike and Mindy have done an outstanding job in making 2nd Chance Books a warm, inviting place to drop in, browse and buy the best books at great prices. Customers are treated as welcomed friends. Beats the big box stores, hands down.

This place is great!. I happened to find 2nd Chance during a visit from California. I couldn't believe what a nice clean store I had found! They have a great selection and the store is beautiful while staying warm and cozy with the decor. Mike and Mindy, as well as the rest of the staff, are very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. It's too bad we don't have a 2nd Chance here in California!

Will keep coming back!!!. I fell in love with this store the first time I stepped through the door. I have always found what I was looking for and have had great suggestions from Mindy when I wasn't looking for anything in particular. Atmosphere is wonderful, staff is wonderful and knowledgable. It's also a great store I can go into with my three year old! He actually asks to go to 2nd Chance! They have a wonderful kids section! Very Highly recommended!

I Liked It. My sister brought me here while I was visiting last month. I don't usually go to used anything stores, but especially books. I was surprised how clean and well laid out the store was. The clerk was nice and helpful, and I found a lot of nice books in great shape. The price was right, which is always important. When I come back to visit, this will be one of my first stops.

I Couldn't Believe It!. This is a USED bookstore? The store is clean and nice, the selection well ordered and very rich with variety. My girlfriends told me I had to see it to believe it, and I still don't! When I came in, the guy behind the counter was actually cleaning books and removing old stickers and bookmarks. He seemed to be enjoying himself. The music was great. Place smelled and felt clean. Its really a comfortable used bookstore. Found several books I wanted at a fabulous price. 2nd Chance - you've got a regular customer in me. Thank you.

What a GREAT BOOKSTORE. I found this bookstore through CitySearch. Not the messy, disorganized, yes - even dirty - used bookstore I've come to know. Rather, a clean, pleasant, enjoyable shopping experience. I love the selection. I can get my mysteries, my cook books, and my history fix all at once. Sci-fi is great too. Mindy is a lot of help and knows her books and knows her store from corner to corner. Sat there and read for half an hour and felt at home. Nice people, great books, and the price is right. I'm sold on 2nd Chance Books!

A Wonderful Used Book Store. This is the nicest used book store I've been to in the Triangle area. They have a lot of books about everything and I don't think I will ever run out of things to find there. Books are easy to find, and are very clean and in great shape. The people who work there are nice and like to help people. I take my books to them and they are generous with their store credit. I like that there is lots of parking right in front too. I wish they were open later at night.

What a Great Used Bookstore. The most marvellous thing I've found from shopping at 2nd Chance Books is that I don't FEEL like I'm in a used anything store. The store is clean and comfortable, and Mindy and Mike made me feel right at home when I first visited their shop. I LOVE the jazz that plays softly in the background, and am so tickled to find even some of the esoterica that I enjoy so much on 2nd Chance's shelves. Mindy Miller calls it her "new store for used books." I couldn't agree more. If you like a bargain and pleasant shopping environs, then 2nd Chance Books is a "must-visit" store!

Its About Time. I've been hoping for a used bookstore in Cary for a long time. Mindy Miller and her husband have brought our town a great store. Its clean and comfortable, with soft music and soft chairs. The books are in great shape and the prices are right. I'm sure glad they came here with their store.
