Well, the first question is "what's the expected output"? If you're trying to get, say, title from table1 and rating from table2 and identify the books in table1 by the unique field "id" and in table2 by the field "book_id", then this is what you should have to end up with:

SELECT t1.title, t2.rating FROM table1 as t1, table2 as t2 where t1.id=t2.book_id; This is obviously a simple example, and depending on what your problem is, it may not help. But it's a good start for simple generic JOIN's.
