Daedalus Books

Daedalus Books Used & new books - specializing in literary studies, history, philosophy, poetry, music, and art. Our interests are broad, but we love the humanities.

Most of our books are used, but we also carry new books that we think are special and want to see people reading. Our books range from art history, literary theory, theology, poetry, natural history, metaphysics, and children's books, and so on. We buy books Monday-Friday, and recommend calling ahead. We host readings a few times a year. You can sign up for our MailChimp email list to get updates. Our employees are true bibliophiles, and will be glad to help you find what you're looking for.
