SAM'S published a PHP book some years ago that had just
such an app in "demo" form, on CD, included.  A big purple
book.  The app was basically a shopping cart system, but
it was specifically for books.  Might be a good way to
learn something and a good framework for further customization.

Given that it's a few years old, though, you'd want to
definitely do some reading on security best procedures
and changes since PHP 4....

As for the rest of the discussion, a bookshop could
easily be most of the standard cart-type apps.  Since
they have only a few characteristics, it's much easier
than, for example, retail clothing ;-)
