Belvedere Square, Baltimore
Warehouse Outlet, Columbia

Daedalus Books is an independent seller of books, music, and video founded in 1980.[1][2][3][4] While it also sells new titles, Daedalus Books' specialty is the remaindered book. Its philosophy is to keep bestsellers, classics, and overlooked gems available to the reading public.

The company has a wholesale division and a retail division. The retail division sells via catalogs, a web site, and through a bricks and mortar store. Its primary location is its 120,000-square-foot (11,000 m2) warehouse and outlet store located in Columbia, Maryland. In 2006, it opened a store in Belvedere Square, Baltimore.[5][6] However, in 2011, this branch closed.[7]
