It looks like you got part 1 of the challenge correct, let's build on that.

For part 2, the Code Challenge asks for you to implement an __eq__() method. And you got the parameters correct, nice work.

However, __eq__(self, other) is asking you to return a "bool" True or False, you are printing out the self.author and self.title. There are many ways to do this correctly. The only thing you need to watch out for is that you test BOTH the author and title for equality.

class Book:
    def __init__(self, author, title):
        self.author = author
        self.title = title
    def __str__(self):
        return f'{self.author}, {self.title}'
    def __eq__(self,other):
        return (self.author == other.author) and (self.title == other.title)
