This bookstore feels like something out of a movie. For such a small spot, they have really got a huge selection of books.

if magic is real, there’s definitely a portal to another world somewhere in daedalus.wandering through the shelves is like a delightful labryinth, with sections covering every genre. the books are decently priced, too—perfect to find something for a used book as a gift or to add to your own collection. i got three on my latest visit.i would note this store could not be any less accessible. the stairs and close shelves are not ideal if you need space to get around.

A great wonderful welcoming place. A huge selection of incredible books, all different types, and well priced. Some are very valuable, rare books, and some more every day reading books that one can enjoy. The owner is amazing, knows his. stuff and loves helping

Man, I really like this store, and I'd like to say lots nice, clever stuff about it, and there's an awful lot of nice clever stuff to say, but my response to this place was coming from my twelve-year-old self in a house made of books, awestruck at the organization and use of space and materials.

Three stories of books- what’s not to like? All used but good prices even for hardbacks. Bought a whole stack when we stopped in during a weekend trip to Charlottesville. Be warned, not wheelchair accessible. Also the stairways up and down are very steep.

Over price for used books , stuff was so arrogant. He was putting his foot the counting table when customer shopping .

Great place for used and old books dating as far back as the 1800s. Found some good reads for my fiancé and I .

Absolutely packed. Even if you aren't an avid reader, they have something interesting. Absolutely worth visiting just to admire the sheer dedication to their collection. Very impressive.The staff is helpful and kind as well.

Simply phenomenal, literally choked with floor to ceiling books of every stripe and more. It's something that simply needs to be seen to be believed.

One of the best used bookstores I've been to. 3 floors of books!

Books, books, and more books! Despite the square footage probably being fairly small. Every wall and every room is taken advantage of for book space, it's almost possible to get lost in here. It's also very peaceful since all the books help with noise isolation. Very comfy place to be in!

Daedalus has so many book options and a wonderful multi-story setup where you feel like you can get lost for hours. We came here on my friends birthday to explore and the owner was so nice. The prices for all the books are very fair and cheap. I loved it here.

I always stop at Daedalus when I'm nearby. It's not a place I go when I have something specific to pick up, but a wonderful place to wander with an open mind in search of something new and interesting. The shop itself is a maze with books tucked in every corner. Selection ranges from novels to photo books to textbooks. The gentleman who works there (I'm not sure if he is the owner or not) is also quite nice and very helpful.

Daedalus bookshop is a Charlottesville and downtown institution. It is the first and best bookseller in the area and I cannot imagine anyone finding a bookseller with a wider selection of Esoteric material.

An endless array of every subject imaginable. There's never enough time to look through everything. It's so much fun to meander around the nooks and crannies looking for your next great adventure
