Jeannies Used Books

Jeannie and her shop were lovely! So many books to look at, and she was very helpful! She clearly loves the shop and loves sharing her love of books with others. Sections were labeled and widely varied, with books from (I saw) as far back as the 20's to current. Prices were excellent and I was able to find a couple of good additions to my collection. She gave us good recommendations for places to eat nearby, and generally made us feel very welcome! Thanks Jeannie, we'll hope to be back this way again!

Second time visiting this amazing bookstore. Definitely the most comprehensive collection of used books from every genre and era. The owner is AMAZINGLY helpful and we will come here again!

This is her new location, been going to her bookstore for quite some time , her old location was on High Street but now she’s in a better location in Portsmouth , it’s on Portsmouth Blvd as you’re heading to Bubba’s and Franks and East Side Pizza, The store has a whole new feeling to it and it’s spacious and she still has a ton of books to choose from. Just give her a call and please visit

Love this store! Prepare to be here for awhile. There's so much. I looked for classics, homeschooling books, and kids books. I barely even browsed half the store. Good prices. I got about 10 books for $50. I most definitely recommend stopping by, especially as a visitor. You also can get a stamp reward card for regulars.

I discovered this store from a co-work. Finding the location was confusing at first. For Jeannie had to move over to 5807 Portsmouth Blvd, Portsmouth VA. This Used Book Store is a GEM. I always find what I am looking for & more. The patron of this store Jeannie is always helpful, kind & we always have a great conversation time. Jeannie makes this store exciting for anyone who loves BOOKS. She also has sections of Audio Books, DVD’s/Bluray’s, Old Collectible Books, & books on every & any subject, topic. The prices are so affordable. A store to fall in love with. 🤩

Jeannie's is the best used bookstore in the area. She has well over 200,000 books in stock in just about any category you can think of. If you need help finding something, she'll jump up to help you look for it. If you ask her what she recommends, she'll give you an author or two to look for. Prices are incredible, so if you're on a budget this is the place to go. She's got older books and more recent ones. Occasionally she'll get a few new releases in. If you're thirsty, she has drinks available to purchase. There's antiques, magnets, stickers, hand-made blankets, and more. Please stop by when you can. I love Jeannie and this store. <3

If you like books, this is the place to be! All sorts of books, and Jeannie is quite good to work with.
