    When you have achieved what Greg suggested - you should look more closely at the above.
    Hint: That is not how you declare a constructor - it is not a class but part of it.

    Exactly! it should be "void Books" not "class Books". Look again, a class inside a class.

    If that is a constructor (which I am almost certain it is) then it can have no return type (not even void).

    Yeah, maybe. But if and only if it is a constructor. Maybe its not.

    Very confusing to have a method with the same name as the class and constructor.
    method names should be verbs, class names nouns.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Absolutely. That's actually the convention adopted by oracle and google. SeeCode Conventions for the Java Programming Language: Contents and Google Java Style.
