Can a book have more than one of the codes, such as Author Code, Genre Code, Category Code, or Edition? If so, then consider adding more relational tables.

What I mean to ask is, can there be more than one Author Code for the same book, or more than one Genre Code, etc? If so, then you might make a separate table for Authors or Genre where each uses a foreign key column to relate back to the book by its primary key, Book Code. You would then remove Author Code, Genre Code, etc. from the books record definition. That will normalize the DB.
