 ``Book`` queryset for use by :class:`~django.views.generic.list.ListView`
-    The default implementation of ``get_queryset()`` uses the ``model`` attribute

-    for ``get_object()`` so we'll override that method and have it return
-    the queryset of ``Book`` objects linked to the ``Publisher`` we're looking
-    at.
