But on this way i can't describe the book i sell like Product, with product's properties - i can't find any passage from CreativeWork to Product. There is in fact a passage from Offer to Product, with itemprop="itemOffered" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Product", but repeating isn't a good way, beside of this it isn't easy to get such passage into html, even with itemref.

You can just use both types in the itemtype declaration, for example,
itemtype="Book Product".

We're doing this in the #schemabibex group to express offers for a given
item. And Martin gave a wonderful example of this approach on this list
just a few days back at
