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

If it is books you want, CHECK THIS PLACE OUT! There are so many. As you walk into the space, you encounter a hall full of books...but Baby, you ain't seen nothing yet! Inside the large room, ( it was the original school cafeteria) there are shelve upon shelve full of books. They are well organized, and whatever you can't find, just ask! There is a huge section of Debbie MacComber, Danielle Steele, luanne Rice type books. They are separated by author and alphabetized. You might have to do a little rearranging if there are many to find what you are looking for. There are step stools and chairs available in each section. There are rosters of reading orders posted. I saw maps, school books, religious reading, reference material ect. It was like being in a library. The owner uses the old cafeteria window like a reference desk. She has booktok selections on the "reference desk" as well. If you purchase, you leave your stickers in place and when you need new reading material, she will give you a percentage off on your next book purchase. This is an amazing way to bring customers back in. I bought 5 paperback books by Karen Kingsbury yesterday. These books were $5 each. They were in brand new condition and would have cost me substantially more on Amazon. Digital books have gotten so costly, and libraries have limited time frames...this awesome little book nook just makes sense. Visit it and buy ya some books!!!!

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. 🤩

Jennie is our favorite book store by far. She has the biggest selection of thousands of books of all categories 'huge store a must for book lovers ' great prices . I highly recommend Jennies.
