About this business
Hi Book Lovers, My name is Jeannie. I opened Jeannie's used books back in 2001. I started with about 40,000 books (most were my own). I have grown to over 250,000 book now. I have about 160 different categories . The large sections are semi alphabetized by author (It is very hard for me to keep every shelf perfect). Each shelf is between 1 to 4 stacks deep. I have Paperbacks and Hardbacks, Fiction and non-fiction. I try to keep all like subjects together. If you can't find what your looking for just browsing, PLEASE do not h... read more

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!
Stopped in today and it's a book lovers paradise. Thousands of books lined up on book shelves. If you need a certain book or author, I bet they have it. Extremely pleasant owner and she was asking everyone how she could help. A definite place to frequent.
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 ther... read more
Jeannie's has moved to a new location. But she still provides a very wide selection of books at great prices. She also sells a lot of other things besides books. In this day of tablets and audio books, I still love the feel and smell of books. You will find yourself spending a lot of time wandering the aisles. And Jeannie herself is a delightful person. She is more than happy to help you find what you are looking for and have a nice chat in the process.
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
