Answer to storing information in array

#include <stdio.h>

#define MAXS 256

struct book

    char bname[20];
    int pages;
    char author[20];
    long price;

int main () {

    struct book books[MAXS] = {{ {0}, 0, {0}, 0 }}; /* initialize all values to zero (null) */
    int nbooks = 0;
    int i = 0;

    printf ("\nEnter number of books to store: ");
    scanf("%d%*c",&nbooks);                         /* read nbooks, and consume newline     */

    if (nbooks < 1) {                               /* validate number of books to enter    */
        fprintf (stderr, "error: invalid entry for 'nbooks'\n");
        return 1;
    }

    for (i = 0; i < nbooks; i++)                    /* enter values for each book, use      */
    {                                               /* scanf to read each value AND the     */
