You can do that in several ways. You could search for the author by using the search field on top of the book list, for example a query of author:"John Smith" would display only books written by John Smith. You could then additonally save the searches, if you want. Another way to do it would be to use the tag browser, displayed on the left side of the screen (if it isn't, try clicking the luggage icon in the lower right, it should then appear). In the tag browser, expand the authors list, then click on an authors name. The name should then be preceded by a green plus sign, and the book list should be updated to only books of that author. If you click on the name again, the plus should change to a red minus sign and only books
not by that author would be displayed. You can select multiple authors by holding Ctrl while clicking. Also note that this updates the search field with the appropriate query, if you prefer typing to clicking, take notes to learn the query language calibre uses.
