Book discounts at Daedalus closing sale

daedalus bookstore

The discounts are getting deeper at Daedalus, the bookstore in Belvedere Square in North Baltimore. Why? Because the store is going the way of many independents -- and many Borders outlets.

The store's last day is May 15th, and prices have been cut an additional 30 percent on books, CDs, DVDs, and other merchandise.

Daedalus was a nice place to browse while waiting for a movie at the Senator -- and it's too bad the store couldn't sustain itself until the movie theater's expansion plans are realized. But I admit that since I moved from Stoneleigh, I get over to that part of town less and less often. Still, like many Read Streeters, I hate to see another option for book lovers closing.

Thanks to the great sale prices I've just about finished my shopping for next Christmas. When I checked out I received a coupon worth an additional 10% off my next purchase (in the store or online).

The only good news here is that there is a rumor floating around Belvedere Square that a restaurant might go into that space.
Atwater's II maybe?

Please let your readers know that the Daedalus in Columbia will remain open.

Joe and team is knowledgeable and caring as anyone could possibly be in this topic and I would recommend him to anyone I know who is in the unfortunate situation.
