The only thing that books differ from a general webshop / e-commerce
is ISBN and authors.  In any case, a good e-commerce solution should
have UPC/ISBN since every product is identified by UPC/ISBN regardless
of the industry.  So what I suggest is look for a good open source
e-commerce solution that has most of the features you're looking for
and just implement additional fields in the db for ISBN, authors,
publishers (manufacturers?) and some additional php code.  It beats
writing an e-commerce from scratch and helps you better understand
that solution you're implementing.
