[LRUG] Rails Question : Matching Share Nested Resources to Controllers

What are peoples views on what is a sensible approach on what controller
strategy you should employ for shared nested resources

 ie

 /books/
 /authors/id/books
 /publishers/id/books
 

Should each one have their own controller ?

 books_controller.rb
 
 authors_books_controller.rb

 publishers_books_controller.rb


Or a single controller with some form of contextual checking ?

The former seems preferable to me as less opaque despite the whatever
duplication might occur, especially when views are heavily contextual -
breadcrumbs trails etc.

I've googled around the topic but with little results
