JavaScript: Module, Observable, and Methods-as-Properties Patterns

var Book = (function(){

var book = Book.factory('Lord Of the Rings', 23.99);

console.log(book.name());
console.log(book.price());

book.onPriceChanging(function(book, price){
    console.log('Changing book price to $' + price);
    if (price > 100){
        console.log('-> [X] Price ($' + price + ") is too high. No changing price");
        return false;
    }
    return true;
});

book.onPriceChanged(function(book){
    console.log("The book '" + book.name() + ' changed price to $' + book.price());
});

book.price(19.99);
book.price(200.00);
book.price(99.01);

Output:

Lord Of the Rings
23.99
Changing book price to $19.99
The book 'Lord Of the Rings changed price to $19.99
Changing book price to $200
[X] Price ($200) is too high. No changing price
Changing book price to $99.01
The book 'Lord Of the Rings changed price to $99.01
