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.

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.

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 antiqu... 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!
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
What a great used bookstore! There's so much to find for all ages and interests. I have really enjoyed every visit here, especially those with my elementary-aged son.
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
