Thank you for the post.
You have restored my faith in the high level of culture I have come to expect on Mobileread.
It is also worth noting, that if the original poster has consistent naming scheme, he could go to the Preferences, Import/Export, Adding books, and craft the regular expression for automatic harvesting of metadata from the filename.
This regular expression is not well documented, but you can go to the Preferences, Import/Export, Saving books to disk and see here what kind of variables you can use.
Crafting Regular expression for the import can take a while, but even a couple of days of experimenting here is much more elegant than trying to reenter metadata for many thousands of books manually.
