Thinking things through the best you can, frequently pencil and paper help a lot, before writing code will be very helpful. For example, you may want to to declare the bookstore as a collection of holdings and transactions. Each holding has a book and an inventory amount. Each transaction has purchase details including book purchased, number of each book purchased, cost of each book, total cost of each book, total cost of all books purchased, taxes, shipping costs, date of shipping, route of shipping, shipping number, expected time of shipping and arrival, shipping address, billing addres, how billed, etc.

Good luck.

Purchase would seem to correspond to transaction which could be a separate class. Stock would seem to correspond to holdings which could well be a separate class. So, yeah, why not.
