Fått build_book til å fungere. Denne spør nå brukeren om ISBN,

bygger en bok, og dytter denne inn i databasen. Ingen fornuftig 
sjekking av dataene foregår så langt. Forfattere og relasjoner 
bygges etter behov, og stort sett uten å spørre brukeren. Også 
dette må endres på. En god del generalisering er nødvendig for 
å gjøre denne koden forståelig.
