Books on Shopping Carts

[BleedingSky]

Hey Guys, does anyone know of any books that are dedicated to the development of an e-commerce site, from initial planning right through to the very end? I realize that there are quite a few PHP books out there that have one chapter dedicated to this, but I'm wondering if there's one book that covers only this topic?

Id be very surpriseed if anyone created a book specifically for PHP and Shopping Carts or Ecommerce for that matter. The topics could be easily done within a tutorial and most are.

However there are books for programming Ecommerce sites now Ive never read any so I cant comment on which to get. I also dont think any are specific to a language but most will probably give concepts and show in some language how it will be done.

Here is the list Amazon gave (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=stripbooks:relevance-above&field-keywords=Programming%252520Ecommerce&search-type=ss&bq=1&store-name=books/ref=xs_ap_l_xgl14/104-0616159-2598367) for Programming Ecommerce.

There is this book:

Beginning PHP 5 and MySQL E-commerce (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1590593928/qid=1120563945/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_ur_1/102-9646683-6278530?v=glance&s=books&n=507846) but there are also several good open source shopping carts out there (insert my standard plug for Zen Cart (http://www.zencart.com) here) that can pretty much do just about anything you need.

Beyond it is another dimension - a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas.
