 Bindery is built so that can't happen to you:
 
-- **No single point of failure for metadata.** OpenLibrary leads, with Google Books, Hardcover, DNB, Audnex, and Audible behind it — all documented public APIs, zero scraping. If one source degrades, the others carry the library.
+- **No single point of failure for metadata.** OpenLibrary leads, with Google Books, Hardcover, DNB, Audnex, and Audible behind it, and Nasjonalbiblioteket and the BnF available as opt in primaries for Norwegian and French libraries. All documented public APIs, zero scraping. If one source degrades, the others carry the library.
 - **Bring your dead Readarr install with you.** Import `readarr.db` and your authors, indexers, download clients, and blocklist come across in one step. No re-entry, no CSV gymnastics.
 - **Boring to run, by design.** A single Go binary with the UI embedded, SQLite, no external database, no sidecars, no nginx. Distroless image, Helm chart, and ARM builds down to a Pi Zero.

 - Author monitoring via OpenLibrary's author-works endpoint, configurable author monitor modes, all, future, latest or none as the install default plus a per-author mode that follows only the series you pick, per-book monitor toggles, and a `wanted → imported` workflow with live download progress on the Queue page.
 - Unattended release discovery: monitored authors are checked for new books on a schedule, so a followed author's next book joins the library without a click. It ships off; turn it on in **Settings, General, New release discovery** by picking Daily, Weekly or Monthly. Opt an author out with **Monitor new items: Don't add them**.
 - Dual-format books — each title holds an ebook *and* an audiobook in independent slots, with separate search, grab, and import pipelines, and the audiobook side moves multi-part `.m4b` / `.mp3` folders as one unit.
-- Series support with position tracking and search by series title, edition tracking (format / ISBN / publisher / page count), Calendar view of upcoming releases, and multiple library roots.
+- Series support with position tracking and search by series title, a book's series and position fixable from the book itself (a book you take out of a series stays out on refresh), edition tracking (format / ISBN / publisher / page count), Calendar view of upcoming releases, and multiple library roots.
 - Library scan matching in five passes: exact ASIN, then a backwards `Author - Title` filename whose folder author the catalogue already knows, then the filename's title, then the book folder's title, and finally series name plus position. Every title pass is one fuzzy comparison that has to agree on the author as well. Honours librarian sort-suffix form (`Title, The`) and series-annotated filenames (`[Mistborn, Book 1]`).
 - **Library adoption**: whatever the scan could not match waits on the Import page as one row per book (an audiobook folder or disc set is one row), with suggested matches (one click Confirm only for a strong match), one "Add author" decision per missing author, and Undo. Files are registered where they are, never moved.
 - Author aliases (`RR Haywood` / `R.R. Haywood` / `R R Haywood` merge into one canonical row), and metadata re-bind to correct a wrong match without delete-and-re-add. On a book’s **File → Re-bind** dialog, search configured metadata providers and select an OpenLibrary work or Hardcover book, or enter an exact provider ID and press Enter. Results already in the library are marked and link to the existing book; records belonging to another library book cannot be selected. Each result’s **Links** menu opens its upstream page when available; OpenLibrary editions can be viewed but require a work ID for re-binding. Re-binding updates metadata and series without moving files; author mismatches require confirmation.

 - Five entries in the top bar: **Library** (Authors, Books, Series), **Activity** (Wanted, Queue, History, and Requests for an admin), **Import**, **Calendar** and **Discover**. A group opens on its first page and repeats the rest as tabs above the content, and every page keeps the address it always had.
 - Library search in the header over your authors, books and series, with a last row that hands a miss to a single **Add to library** dialog for authors and books (title, author, ISBN or ASIN).
 - Light / dark themes (respecting `prefers-color-scheme` first paint), grid / table view toggles, mobile-friendly responsive layout, hamburger nav, agenda-style mobile Calendar.

+- Full pagination, search, filter, and sort on every list page, including sorting an author's books by title, date or added and the Books list by community rating; the Authors list shows how many of each author's books you have; preferences persist to `localStorage`.
