If you do what Project Gutenberg does and only assign a number to the title: Making a change to the title is only a DB change. Change the Author, same-o.

all would be needed is a re-write of metadata.opf for that number.
Way less net traffic. The backup of the metadata inside the book folder is there in case of a complete DB meltdown.
