Second Time Around

You have to spend $15 to use visa or Mastercard or tap from your phone. To do this, you could either get enough books to = $15 or get a gift certificate that equals fifteen dollars and use whatever left later. All books are for purchase. Old school books, used books, some pretty new books. We went before closing. The door was locked they had to buzz us in. They have puzzles and other things there as well. 2 women were in there. The shorter of the 2 women was very very nice, she smiled have us payment options and had a friendly smile and demeanor. The taller skinner one didn't really talk or smile even when I smiled at her. She was not mean just not approachable. She did however tell me that they were going to close but to take my time. I most likely will come again. I saw a series of hardy boys books I think my son would enjoy. They close at 5:30. I'll take a a better look SECOND TIME AROUND. The website says open Tuesday through Saturday 10:30 am-5:30pm

Second Time Around is a charming little bookstore and thrift shop that makes browsing feel like uncovering hidden gems. The selection of used books is broad and well-curated as you’ll find everything from popular fiction to interesting nonfiction and older editions that you won’t see on big retailer shelves. The layout is cozy and easy to navigate, and the prices are very reasonable for the condition of the books.

I love going here! There's a nice selection of books, and we have pleasant conversations when we visit. Super nice people and awesome atmosphere! So glad we have a book store in town!

The book selection is great, its arranged so well. The sections even have little pictures. the lady who works there, will make you genuinely smile, her knowlage of books is really impressive. (Shes cute to)

This small bookstore is a treasure, thanks to its welcoming owner who always greets you with a warm smile. Her impressive knowledge of books makes every visit a joy. The cozy atmosphere and personalized service create a delightful experience, making it a must-stop for book lovers seeking a friendly and informed escape. You can even trade in books for credits in the store.

This place is a step into the past! This should be a weekly visit for anyone who loves books in the Merced area and their health. Elise will great you with the warmth and charm of an era when people trusted each other and looked each other in the eyes for more than for a split second. Hello dopamine and say goodbye to cortisol !!! Go here on Saturday after a visit to the farmers market which is just walking distance around the corner. And then catch a matinee movie at the theater! You’ll feel like you’re back in the 70s again!!!

Amazing!!!! Large YA section my daughter loves. Wish we lived closer and weren't just visiting. Well organized. Great selection. Good prices. If you live nearby, you are blessed!
