series does not deal with calcd_rating... (on edit could, recalc as a catch-all, and obviously if we change a single book's rating, we should re-calc) alter a condition, covertype, etc. and its not in drop-down list (even though db look via index is correct, e.g books.html shows updated covertype) book form is not validating (year published) save book, notes/forms not sticking tried publisher, firstly the has id="publisher", but not name="publisher", so request.form does not have field publisher, hand-hacking that and then int/str mismatch... I think need to read up on how to take select 'value' as the int value of the chosen option
