[Koha] 008 form of material will only ever say Books

[Joy Nelson]

Elaine-
Have you tried editing your leader first.  The leader on this record is set
to monographic.  If you change the leader, you should be able to change the
008 tag and have it save correctly.

leader: fixed length control field nam a22 7a 4500
