Hi Mike, If you don't want to have to write any code, Django's automatic admin interface will give you approximately that -- with the appropriate "class META: admin=meta.Admin()" declarations in your models, the automatic admin screen for book objects will display a "plus" sign next to the authors field, which will allow you to add authors who aren't already in the system. This will work for both create and update. See the Django tutorial for full information on how the admin site works.
