Daedalus Books is an independent seller of books, music, and video founded in 1980. While it sells new titles, Daedalus Books' specialty is the remaindered book. Their philosophy is to keep bestsellers, classics, and overlooked gems available to the reading public.
Daedalus Books' primary location is its 120,000-square-foot (11,000 m2) warehouse and outlet store located in Columbia, Maryland. In 2006, Daedalus opened a second store in Belvedere Square, east of the Roland Park section of Baltimore, and south of Towson, Maryland.
