Dataview table from different folders (feddit.it)

Hi! I've created a Book collection and, with Dataview, I've created also a table with a link to a folder containing one file for each author (where I can find all the book I have read or want to read belonging to this author). So I have a folder with the books and a folder with the authors. How can I create a table (or something similar, maybe a Kanban Board?) where I can see, for each author, the book in my folder. Hope to have explained clearly what I have in mind: sorry, English is not my mother-language as you can easily guess Thanks in advance for any help

Following on from @dakerDraws@pawb.social, if you want the output to look like Kanban use the Minimal theme and put in the YAML at the top of the note (you can do this with other themes but would need a css snippet):

***
cssClasses: cards
***

One neat touch is if you put an image link as a field in your YAML, the card can show that, eg:

Cover:: ![[lord-of-the-rings-cover.jpg]]

Images can be attachments in your vault or external links to images online.

Thanks a lot! I'll try this and I think It would be better (from a graphical point of view, at least)
