Author "by" Comma

Do you put a comma before "by" when you write a title of a book and then want to say who wrote it? For example:

The book is called "The Catcher in the Rye," by J. D. Salinger.

Is that comma after "Rye" right there?

Thanks.

Yes, unless there are two books of the same title but different authors.
