Abstract:

the customers with different genres so that they can buy the book of their taste.
In order to purchase books, user will have to register for an account in the Sign-up
table. There will be a table for Admin which will contain the admin’s information.
Admin will be able to add books into the Book-stock table. There will also be a
Best-Selling table which will contain the books that are frequently sold and which
are highly recommended by the users. If someone feels like that the book he/she
needs isn’t available, he/she can make a request for that book and that
information will be stored in the Request-a-book table so the admin can look it
up and add that book into the book stock. The upcoming books will be into a
Coming-soon table which will notify the users before hands. And if the user wants
to place a pre-order for the upcoming book, that information will be stored in the
Pre-order table.
