When I attended SUNY StonyBrook, I always went to Stony Books for all of my textbooks. Located right near the Stony Brook LIRR station and across from the college campus - it's within walking distance from the campus dormitories as well for those college students without a car. Their prices were reasonable and definitely less expensive than the university bookstore. Staff was very knowledgeable and are able to help you find what you need quickly. It can get crowded come the start of a semester, but you'll definitely get a better deal. They also do book buybacks at the end of the semester, so you can get some of your money back. I highly recommend Stony Books.
