Fun place to browse, esp on a rainy day. I always find something I didn't know I needed. Last time it was a volume of Alice Munro's short stories. So glad this little gem brightens our part of NW Portland.

Right next door to kens bakery which is delicious. This is a small quant bookstore with limited options but still a quality selection of books used. Found one I've been searching for. Always fun to look !

One of my favorite used bookshops in Portland. Nicely curated selection plus you can pop over to Ken’s after and enjoy a croissant & coffee with your new book

Daedalus, in contrast to the famous Powell's City of Books, is a gem. They are small, but quite selective when it comes to the quality of the literature they offer. To go a bit more into detail, l find that in Powell's, with all its multiple rooms and levels stuffed with truckloads of literature, most books are not a good quality read, many empty and meaningless, with unimportant message that's of no help if you want to make this world a better place. Same goes to most other book stores! Low quality literature clogs up the brain only to leave no mental resource to process what is really important in life... As if in an effort to shift the focus and distract us from what truly matters in life to what does not. This is why l prefer small Daedalus. I always leave the store with books. In contrast, l get books in Powell's and other book stores only about 10% of the time, and l always feel overwhelmed and drained by the search.

Incredible bookstore. Great selection. So many books. The owner Jeremy is extremely knowledgeable about many books and works of literature, and friendly. Tammy was very helpful, and they made my visit a pleasure. Would highly recommend!

A really wonderful place.I love this bookstore in my neighborhood. Perhaps one of the last very few real bookstores around, the carpets, the music barely playing , the longstanding owners and the peace to browse as long as you like. I come here to find what I didn't even know what I was looking for, the things I find are the ones I didn't know the titles to before I met them here. Please support this lovely place. Thank you for all the times I found what I needed, in every way.

Staff was happy to help and I got to replace the Calvin and Hobbes books that were stolen from me!The didn't have a few books I was looking for, but it's a used book store, what can you expect?

Highly recommended -- Daedalus has especially solid collections of philosophy / theology / poetry, plenty of rare editions, plus a sale section ($5 books) with surprisingly high-quality selections.

Randomly finding this place on one of my usual walks was very pleasant. The atmosphere is inviting. It is quiet, cool, and tucked away enough that you can't hear any hubbub from outside. I will be coming back with a list of books to pick up!

Unassuming but very well-stocked used bookstore with a great selection. My new favorite bookstore in Portland (looking at you Powell's)!
