You're not doing something wrong, the fields are simply not displayed in
the books by default. If you want to show them, you need to create a
'document type specific XSLT'.

The idea is the same as for the document-type-specific-XSLTs of the
wiki, though they are somewhat different and need to be put at a
different location. There is little bit of docs on it here:
http://cocoondev.org/daisydocs-1_5/books/g1/221.html
below the header "applyDocumentTypeStyling".

Note that from Daisy 1.5-M2, these custom stylesheets should be put in
the wikidata directory.

Thus basically, make a copy of the book-document-to-html.xsl, name it
<yourdoctype-name>.xsl, customize it as desired, and put it in
<wikidata dir>/books/publicationtypes/document-styling/
