every derived table must have its own alias-can't find the error

select a.author_id,a.name,a.city,a.country from author a,catalog c 
where c.author_id=a.author_id 
and c.book_id=(select book_id from order_details 
group by book_id 
having sum(quantity)=(select max(quantity) 
from (select sum(quantity) as quantity from order_details group by book_id)));

I want to find the author of the book that has maximum sales.But it shows error. What's wrong with this?

use alias after from clause

select a.author_id,a.name,a.city,a.country 
from author a,
     catalog c 
where c.author_id=a.author_id 
      and c.book_id=(select book_id 
                     from order_details 
                     group by book_id 
                     having sum(quantity)=(select max(quantity) 
                                           from (select sum(quantity) as 
                                                 quantity 
                                                 from order_details 
                                                 group by book_id)
                                                )a
                                          );
