Second Chance Books is a second-hand book shop based in Witherlea, Blenheim, run by a mother and daughter. It sells online across many genres, including self-help, and the website says every book has a story and is waiting for a new reader. Shipping is $8 flat for urban addresses, $11 for rural addresses and $32 for Australia, as at 2026. Signing up to the mailing list gives 10% off a first order with the WELCOME10 code, as at 2026. Customers can send a message for help.
Reviewers praise the condition of the books, the choice of titles and the quick delivery, which they say continued over the holiday period. Parcels arrive wrapped in brown paper, and some include stickers or a bookmark. One reviewer found titles that libraries did not have, at a good price. Another replaced a book their dog had eaten, and found the same one plus others.
