Re: (Newbie) Stuck with annotate() docs

Looks like a typo. Does the rest of the example make sense and work if that line is changed to "Book.objects.first().chapters"?

Folks, I'm having exceptional trouble understanding annotate(), aggregate(), and their various combinations. I'm currently stuck here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/topics/db/aggregation/#combining-multiple-aggregations

The example here uses Book.objects.first().chapters.count(), but there's no chapters model or field at the start of the tutorial. It's frustrating, to say the least. Even if I set up a separate application to test this myself, what do I make of "chapters"? Is it another model with many-to-many relation with Book? When I ran an example with the following models:

class Author(models.Model):

    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    age = models.IntegerField()

class Book(models.Model):

    name = models.CharField(max_length=300)

    chapters = models.IntegerField()

    authors = models.ManyToManyField(Author)

I got: 

>>> Book.objects.first().chapters.count()

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>

AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'count'

>>> 

So basically, I feel like I'm screwed. Please help.
