If you’re a history teacher… you must come here!!! Large selection of historiography for both US History And World History topics. A lot of recent stuff and older stuff that is helpful for any personal or professional library. Will be returning very soon!

Second Time Books is a book lover’s dream. The store itself is warm and welcoming and their stock is quite diverse. Prices are great, too — I visited with one friend who buys lots of books(especially hardbacks) and he was almost confused at the great deals he found at Second Time. The crown jewel, though, is Jim the owner and his staff. You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who’s as committed to helping people as Jim, and the loyal customers I’ve seen in the store are a testament to that fact. The location is a little tucked away in the Rancocas Woods area of Mount Laurel so you may not find yourself in the area too often, but the store is well worth taking the time to make a special trip. You won’t be disappointed.

This is a fantastic book store, especially if you’re a fan of history(particularly American) or sci-fi/fantasy as those subjects have the biggest sections. They also have a decent selection of DVDs and CDs. The only issues I have with the store is the room on the left can be a bit cramped and there’s little rhyme or reason to how the books are arranged besides general subject matter.

Yikes, book hoarder! Overwhelmingly crowded and prices WAY too high for used books! Save your money and try on-line where you can buy probably the same books for a whole lot less and find what you want much easier. Also I found the clerk to be way too engrossed in working on his computer to even notice there were customers in the store and that the front door kept flying open!

Anyone who loves books — history, literature, and beyond — must come here. Not only is the book selection phenomenal and well-curated. The people are super nice and the prices are good. A must stop for readers.

Found this gem while tooling around New Jersey with my sister and her two daughters and we all loved it instantly! As avid readers, we were all very impressed with the volume and diversity of their written selections and the staff were remarkably helpful as we looked for particular authors or titles. We walked away with nearly 20 books between the 4 of us(I think 7 of them were mine). This bookshop consists of two separate buildings, each with different types of books, and both are very impressively stocked. You couldn’t ask for a better bookshop or nicer staff, so if you find yourself in the area, please drop and do some shopping; we need to keep bookshops alive!
