I have 3 tables

Book
BookID
SalesPrice
WorkID

Author
AuthorID
Lastname
Firstname

Work
WorkID
Description
AuthorID

Question: How can I list individual author on their average sales price? I'm aint sure how to place the avg code.

My code:

SELECT Lastname,Firstname,Salesprice
FROM Author A JOIN Work W on A.AuthorID = W.WorkID
JOIN Book B on B.WorkID = W.WorkID
WHERE W.WorkID = B.Work ID

Use

AVG(Salesprice)

instead of

Salesprice

and remember to GROUP BY any other columns, like Lastname and Firstname, at the end of your code.
