Ahh, sorry, I dropped the type. But I did so by moving the itemscope to the p from the span. You can dangle the type off of <p> and avoid the extra element like so:

<p itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person">
    This book has been authored by
        <span itemprop="name">
            <a itemprop="url" href="http://smith.org/john">John
Smith</a>
        </span>
