I create my models, and then spit the data to a View Helper called Table
Render
This table render utilises PEAR Structures so I can expose the data in
many different ways, including an HTML table, CSV, XML, Excel, PDF etc.
Just another abstraction layer to help with reporting, it also does
paging, filtering and header ordering
Would be nice if Zend could create somthing similar to this that binds
in with the framework

I've had a question about this too, though specifically it doesn't
really deal with pulling one "book". I was wondering what solutions
people have for wanting to pull a set of books (to use the earlier
example) from a category (say, biography) and then limit the list (for
paging).
I had guessed that the solution would be to get the relevant category
row, then pull all the books for that category, (findManyToManyRowset)
but there doesn't seem to be a clean way to limit the books. I'm most
likely missing something.
