I used to (at least with the 0.9 tree) be able to access metadata and series information for a book with "self.metadata" and "self.series".

With the switch to db/backend.py, I can't find those methods anymore:

Code:

calibre, version 1.5.0
...
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>AttributeError</b>:'DB' object has no attribute 'series'

What is the current best practice to access this information?
