Who We Are...

2nd Chance Books is owned and operated by Second Chance Books, Inc., and has been voted "Best Bookstore in the Triangle on Triangle Citysearch.com every voting period since 2003!

Our vision statement calls for us to "acquire and make available to the community the highest quality of used books utilizing a pricing and buy-back structure that will extend to the reading community the lowest available prices."

Second Chance Books was founded in 2002 by Mindy and Mike Miller. Mindy, a self-proclaimed "rabid bibliophile", chose to end her 18-year career in accounting management and pursue a long-standing dream of bringing a high-quality used bookstore to the community.

Mike, whose days are full as Corporate Training Manager for a major commercial real estate investment trust (REIT), spends most of his "spare" time at home (behind the scenes) supporting technology, on-line sales fulfillment, and marketing aspects of the business.

Our retail store in Cary, NC celebrated their fifth year anniversary in May 2008.
