Pauline Rowson metadata edited books - comments wanted.nfo
Over the past five years I've been collecting full sets of ebooks by different authors (about 80 authors 1300 books so far). I edit the metadata of all the books, correcting authors name, title, find a decent cover if needed, input series where applicable and also change the publishing dates* so they will display in the correct order in the library pages of a kindle. I like the series name to appear in the library pages so I change titles to
Names of Series 00 - Title of Book or
Novel (YEAR) - Title of book
I also strip IDs, comments and tags as these aren't compatible will some older eReaders. (The changing of the book title means calibre can't find metadata.)
*Since some authors i.e James Patterson or J A Jance, write several series and also novels, I use the correct dates for the novels but for the series I use 1st Jan 1901 for the first book in a series, 1st Feb 1901 for the second book etc. For the second series I would start 1st Jan 1911. Actual dates used depend on the Author. I use http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk for series numbers and year of publication of novels
I was going to post these full sets but after discussing with fisherman and reading other posts, many people appear to like tags and comments. So I've done an author in two versions
Version 1
Best versions of each book with all metadata downloaded from various sources. Titles, author sort, series, publication dates corrected.
Version 2
Same books but with titles changed to
Names of Series 00 - Title of Book or
Novel (YEAR) - Title of book
All IDs, comments, tags stripped.
I've already done around 80 authors (but most need updating) with another 100 or so I want to do. I'm quite happy to post these when completed.
Do I post version 1 (complete) or Version 2 (stripped) or both with appropriate NFOs
Any comments appreciated (about the versions not the actual book content).
