For example, I have several books by the same author, but the author's name is in a bad format on all of them. I want to change the author's name for all of the books at once, so they're all consistent.

I'm betting you've figured this out for yourself already, but just in case you haven't...

Select all the books you want to edit (using shift- or ctrl-click)
Click on the Edit Metadata button in the toolbar (blue circle with an "i")
(Calibre should bring up the "Bulk edit metadata" dialogue.)

You can also click on the little down-arrow next to the Edit Metadata button and select the bulk edit option.
