[Resolved] Display an author’s books in a book display

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to display his Types Beta many to Many relationship using Views.

Solution:
Currently our Views Beta plugin does not have a way to display the Relationships from the new types version. In order to do this I would recommend reverting to our production release of Types and Views.

This way you can use our view plugins to display the relationship.

I have to build a website showing books for a book editor.
I am using beta versions views 2.6b3, types 3.0b1.

I created the custom post types (book and author)
Since a book can have multiple authors and multiple authors may have written a book, I created
a many to many relationship.

How to display the author's books in the display of a book using the many to many relationship?

Thank you for your help.
