For the sake of argument you can do
@books = Books.find_by_sql ["SELECT * FROM books WHERE title IN
(SELECT
title FROM authors WHERE name = ?)", params[:author][:name]]
But really whenever you use find_by_sql you should give yourself a
long hard look in the mirror. There's almost always a better way.
