Could someone assist me with this question please?

Challenge Task 3 of 3

Note: We will be writing ONLY the SQL query for this challenge. The Media table also contains a category column. Add another condition to the WHERE clause so that only the "Books" category is selected. You may start with the following code from the last task: SELECT title FROM Media JOIN Media_People ON Media.media_id = Media_People.media_id JOIN People ON Media_People.people_id = People.people_id WHERE fullname LIKE '%Tolkien';

Type in your command below.

My code was

SELECT title FROM Media JOIN Media_People ON Media.media_id = Media_People.media_id JOIN People ON Media_People.people_id = People.people_id WHERE category LIKE 'Books'AND '%Tolkien';

I am getting an error

Did you select ONLY the 'title from the "Media" table?

Could some one assist please?

Need to be sure you specify this part; AND category = 'Books' (see below)

SELECT title FROM Media JOIN Media_People ON Media.media_id = Media_People.media_id JOIN People ON Media_People.people_id = People.people_id WHERE fullname LIKE '%Tolkien' AND category = 'Books';

is this what you're after? The where condition looks shonky. Unless the course is new with treehouse, someone will usually have tripped over the same hurdle before - so you can use the forum search or google (treehouse and some term particular to your current problem) to search the forums. Usually, you can find something.
