Better Books and Bargains

The book shop sells books, which may be either fiction or non-fiction.

Books have an ISBN, bar-code, title, author(s) / editor(s), publisher, date of publication, quantity in stock, price, quantity on order.

There may be a series title.

Fiction books are either paperback, large paperback or hardback and may be ranked in 'The Guardian' top 40 best seller list.

Non-fiction books belong to a subject area and may have an edition number.

Due to the expansion the shop now also sells other merchandise such as:

· magazines which have a bar-code, title, and issue number and/or
date, publisher, price, quantity in stock, quantity on order.

· stationery items with bar code, price, quantity in stock, quantity
on order, description, supplier.

· greetings cards with bar-code, price, type, quantity in stock,
quantity on order, printer, description, supplier.

· seasonal items with bar-code, price, quantity in stock, quantity on
order, supplier, start date, end date, description.

Customers make purchases for which they receive receipts having a receipt number, date, quantity, bar-code, brief description, price and sales person code.

Sometimes a special offer voucher may be offered in payment. These will have a voucher number, value, company of issue and expiry date.

The issue of a receipt causes the quantity in stock to be updated.

The sales person code is used to calculate the monthly bonus. Received on Wed Oct 19 2005 - 21:00:57 CEST
