Thrifty Peanut 7600 Youree Drive, Shreveport, LA 71105

"If you need to find your favorite author stop by and visit. They have a very BIG SELECTION of books to choose from. The employee's were very nice and friendly. They told me where to look and I found what I was looking for. They helped me carry my selection of books from the shelf to the register and the to my vehicle. Will definitely be a regular and bring my old books to them. Thanks for all your help ladies. May God bless you all."

"I had passed by this place a couple times and put it on my “to visit” list, and I finally got to stop in today! I didn’t bring in my reusable bag with me because I didn’t know what I was walking into.. but I definitely should have! I ended up with an armful of books in a short amount of time. They have an awesome thriller/suspense section along with a great YA section. Quality of books I purchased were great! I got a couple of books from a newer series in the YA section and they looked brand new, for half the price. I’ll definitely have to bring a couple bags with me next time, because there were sections I didn’t get to check out this time. The employees also give you lots of space and don’t make you feel rushed or pressured, they just let you explore! Thrifty Peanut has become my new favorite bookstore!"

"It's a large used bookstore, with a partial upstairs. They have a whole room dedicated to history (most of which is US history, with a heavy focus on wars). If you're looking for science, philosophy, or even metaphysics/woo-woo stuff, they have a whopping 2 small, narrow bookshelves—they had more books on gardening! Romance and Western sections looked pretty large. They have a recommended reading section near the door; nothing that appeals to nerds like me. It's large, but that doesn't make up for a lack of quality. They only buy textbooks and books on college reading lists. And they support our troops. And they don't want you asking anyone who works at the bookstore about their vaccination and/or health status. I mention this because there are several signs stating such throughout the store, which I thought was a little odd. I'm sure this bookstore appeals to someone, and that someone is not me and probably not you if you're a nerd too."

"This is an amazing store. We do not visit Shreveport without stopping in for a look. The movie and book selection is incredible. The staff is very helpful and always accommodating. Stop in and browse, you will love it!"
