Hi Kovid - thanks for the reply. What I wanted was exactly the same output that the direct db functions above give me, of pairs of ids with their text value. e.g. all the unique author id + their name combinations.
So it appears that indeed the answer is I need to iterate over all the books and build up my own (unique) sets...
