Columbia, Maryland is a fascinating town full of places to explore. Whichever quirkily-named street you turn on, you’re bound to find something worth checking out, be it a lakefront concert or, in this case, one of the state’s best used bookstores. The storefront may seem plain, but Second Edition Books is stacked with shelves upon shelves of used books. Once you get in the doors, expect to be wowed by their selection of reading material, music, movies, and more – there’s definitely enough here for the whole family to find a treasure or two hidden in the stacks!
An innocuous storefront in a shopping center next to the DMV promises plainly exactly what you’ll find - books, music, and more.
Once inside, it becomes apparent how massive the selection this modest bookstore offers. They have shelves overflowing with everything from sci-fi, horror, and classic novels…
…To histories, biographies, and even books on fortune telling and magic! There’s always something to discover buried in the stacks, and they go all the way back.
The shop also boasts an extensive section of music and movies. They take donations daily, so the selection is constantly bringing in new additions. They have Blu-rays, DVDs, CDs…
…And a whole cubby dedicated to the classic vinyl that gets brought in! Again, the trades and donations come in daily, so we recommend checking back frequently to see what sweet finds each new day, week, or month brings.
Second Edition also stocks a good amount of collectible editions of famous books, which are ideal if you’re looking for a gift for a literature-loving family member or friend, or if you want to bring a refined style to your own bookshelf.
If you know or are a bookworm looking for that next great read, be sure to add Second Edition to your must-visit list. There’s also a whole book warehouse tucked away in Baltimore if your next book remains elusive.
