How do I record a book sale so that the taxes and shipping fee is properly recorded

We are a small publishing company and have opened an online store. I'm struggling with how to record a book sale so that the income and expenses related to a book title are properly recorded for that title.

 

Here's an example:

  • A book title selling price is $10.00
  • Our printing expense for that book title is $2.00
  • We offer free shipping and the expense for the shipping is $1.00
  • Our net profit for the book is $7.00


I have set up each title as a project and that has been a great way to look at the initial expenses for the title. I would like to continue to track this way each time we direct sell a copy of the title so just by looking at the project/title we can tell the profitability of a given title..
