well, $c->model('MyApp::Book') if your DBIC::Schema was Model::MyApp.

It is, and you don't -want- to put them in there - mine usually live in
MyApp::Schema or similar. The point is the DBIC::Schema model is an
-adapter- that brings an external model into your app; the DBIC stuff can
then be installed and used separately for backend processing etc. without
needing all the Catalyst machine installed/loaded.
