You're right. I just happened that the first screen worth of books didn't have a series. And I didn't scroll down as everything seemed to be working. I could see the errors when I scrolled down. Removing the semi-colon fixed it.

BTW: the "field()" function is now inlined, directly executed by the GPM interpreter. That means that now there is little performance difference between using a local variable and using "field", where before a local variable was around 10 times faster.
Good to know. What about "raw_field()"? I probably use that as much as "field()".
