I want to share some books with him, he's just about to install Calibre.
My question is, how can I keep the metadata intact?

I tried creating a second library on Calibre to experiment, but when I copied the books in the metadata was missing.

I know he can do this himself, but he works so hard, I'd like to be able to do it for him.

I appreciate your advice, Cheers!
Make them a Library on a flash drive or separate folder. Use Create Switch to set that up.
Then switch back to yours.
Select Books and Right-click: Copy to Library (I suggest No delete )
