+Assignment #1
+For this assignment you will be developing a command line interface for a fake "bookstore". Using the node library commander you will make available a command line interface to your program which, when executed, will output information of books that match the following criteria: (1) book title, (2) author name, (3) price, and (4) kind (paperback or hardcover).
+In order to gather data for your script, select 5 books from either the Athenaeum Boekhandel or the American Book Center and construct a simple "hardcoded" database out of these (see example from the class).
+Below are two examples of inputs and outputs where the data was taken from the Athenaeum Boekhandel
+$ node bookstore.js --author "Hans Ulrich Orbist"
+
+Title: Ways of Curating
+Author: Hans Ulrich Orbist
+Price: 16.95
+Kind: Paperback
+
+$ node bookstore.js --title "The Hatred of Poetry"
+
+Title: The Hatred of Poetry
+Author: Ben Lerner
+Price: 13.95
+Kind: Paperback
+Grading
+This assignment will be graded on three aspects: 1) does the code work and execute as intended, 2) is the code clearly structured and documented (don't forget your README!) and 3) is the code efficient.
+You will hand in your assignment through your account on Github. Please refer to CTH-2016 / Assignments Configuration on how to set up your assignments portfolio properly.
+The dues date for this assignment is — Tuesday November 8 2016 at 13:00.
