I have read through the sticky several times but I still don't completely understand all the pieces required.

I want a series of shelves to be created based solely on the Author's name. So I have these questions:

1) Do I need to create a custom column such as myshelves in the example? If so, why? How is it actually used?
2) Do I have to edit the metadata of all my 600 books to specify the shelf name (as stated in the example)?
3) If I am using the Author as shelf name can't I just specify that somehow as a one-time relationship?

Thanks for clearing this up for me.
