Show 4 Records that occur more often...and how often they occur.

Hello,

i have a dataSet in an ASP.Net / VB page which connects to a database named
"DB" with fields AuthorName, BookTitle, BookEditor.

I want do display 4 records in my page as follows:
Author Name # Number of books published by this Author (Number of records
associated with this Author)

I want to display the 4 Authors which published more books...

In conclusion:
I want to show the 4 AuthorName values which appear more often in the
database and display the number of records having that AuthorName.

Can you help me out?

How should my SQL look? What do i need to add?

Thank You,
Miguel
