Series name

[infojunkie]

Most text books belong to a series (aka ISSN). Extract the series name from the various API queries and provide it as a new placeholder.

Looks like Google Books API calls it bibliogroup e.g. https://www.google.ca/search?tbo=p&tbm=bks&q=bibliogroup:%22The+Frontiers+Collection%22&source=gbs_metadata_r&cad=9

This site provides information about ISSNs in the form of a JSON-LD fragment:

The name attribute is what we're after.

It is also necessary to extract an ISSN from a book's content in isbn-extract.sh, something like https://github.com/richdouglasevans/issn/blob/master/issn.js#L6 but optionally prepended with string "ISSN".

[infojunkie]

Properly implementing ISSN extraction requires some large-scale changes in the code, namely passing either a filename or a file's contents to isbn-info to extract ISBN and ISSN. This means merging isbn-detect.js into isbn-info.js, and changing the shell scripts accordingly.
