About Us

We are a mobile bookstore bringing the joy of reading directly to our community on the Virginia Peninsula and surrounding areas.

Tide Turners Books & More showcases a curated selection of popular new and used books for both adults and children. Tide Turners is more than just a bookstore; we offer an array of book-inspired merchandise, crafting a unique & delightful shopping experience for fellow book lovers to cherish.

Why the name “Tide Turners”? We wanted a coastal name to reflect the area as well as give a nod to the watermen (the owner's dad is one!) but something else that would acknowledge what books can do. To “Turn the Tide” is to change the course of things or to reverse a situation. When life can feel overwhelming, books are a wonderful escape from reality and are known to relieve stress and anxiety.

TURN THE TIDE. READ A BOOK. ESCAPE REALITY.

Want to shop with us in-person? Tide Turners Books & More attends markets and vendor events on the Virginia Peninsula. We also pop-up at local coffee shops and breweries. Visit our Events page to see where we will be next!
