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

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.
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 antiqu... read more
The fact that it's still a lot of racism going on and the fact that people of color spend their money on books. From this Disrespectful lady. I can't even imagine how she still in business. It really sad when. People who are hard working like myself and can keep a racist, rude, disrespectful lady open to the world who sees this. Especially to the people of color please go online or else where. I brought books and I returned them back to her because Nobody should have to feel a certain type of way because of their skin tone... 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!
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 affo... read more
