I'm stuck on a query, I'm hoping someone can point me to the obvious

I need to limit the results of a query based on 2 criteria:
        1- total rows grouped by column_a
        2- total rows all

given:
        books:   id , author , subject , title

i need to

        SELECT * FROM books WHERE subject= 'database'
        Limit to : no more than 10 records per 'author'
        Limit to : 100 records total

I'm really rusty on my sql this week.

Any pointers would be appreciated.
