I am trying to get a select statement with "WHERE" to work and I can't seem to do it. Below find some output. I try a select w/WHERE by "book" but it doesn't work. Originally I tried in PHP and didn't work, so now I just want the MYSQL to work first, I could be overlooking something simple since I'm new to MYSQL. Thanks, Lee G.
