Hmmm, I think I would want it to do the work directly. However, your version lets the user decide what the "work" is, which can be a good thing. It also works without modifying the chain, which is excellent for non-technical people.

[*]This is a technical and a non significant change. It uses category_items('series') to list all the series. Note that the resulting list is separated by ':::', so the for loop is modified accordingly.

category_items() is a much better, clearer way to do it. Thanks!
Attached is a copy of my chain that uses template scopes instead of selections, using category_items() in the scope template.
Now @Hukuro gets to pick which one to use. @Hukuro: it should be @capink's version or the one on this post, suitably modified. The differences:
- @capinks will work without modifying the chain. You must decide what to do with the list of marked books. It very easily could be that marking the books is sufficient for your needs.
- Mine won't work out of the box. You must change the Single Field Edits to use your custom Yes/No column. You might need to create that column. It sets the column so you don't have any post processing.
