A theme built for book catalogs helps set the store apart from generic e-commerce showcases, since it groups cover, review, and technical details the way book buyers are used to seeing them in a physical bookstore. This makes things easier both for those selling a few exclusive titles and for collections with hundreds of items in constant rotation.
