    A class representing all the metadata for a book. The various standard metadata
    fields are available as attributes of this object. You can also stick
    arbitrary attributes onto this object.

    Metadata from custom columns should be accessed via the get() method,
    passing in the lookup name for the column, for example: "#mytags".

    Use the :meth:`is_null` method to test if a field is null.

    This object also has functions to format fields into strings.

    The list of standard metadata fields grows with time is in
    :data:`STANDARD_METADATA_FIELDS`.

    Please keep the method based API of this class to a minimum. Every method
    becomes a reserved field name.
