Fodor's Review:

The Broadway branch—a downtown hangout—proudly claims to have "18 miles of books." Craning your neck among the tall-as-trees stacks will likely net you something from the mix of new and old. Rare books are next door, at 826 Broadway, on the third floor. (The buildings are connected inside.)

  • Subway: L, N, Q, R, W, 4, 5, 6 to 14th St./Union Sq.

This is one of my favorite bookstores to get lost in. There are some remainders, but it's mainly new books at half-price, and lots of cheaper finds...it's best if you go just to see what you find instead of looking for something in particular. I've scored some great art books cheap here...
BTW, I think the Fulton branch is closing.
