Conjunctions (FANBOYS) are often, but not always, preceded by a comma.
Only add a comma before a conjunction if the comma/conjunction pair is separating two independent clauses.
Make sure the clause on either side of the comma/conjunction could be its own sentence. If not, then a comma is not necessary.

Steps:

Find the FANBOYS
Look on both sides
If there is a complete sentence on each side, you need a comma.

Revision: He went to the bookstore and bought a book.
