I am completely new to Calibre. I went to their site and read the manual, but that was no help at all.

I have an open source ebook that was originally published in April of 1884. I would like to put April 1884 as a date, but there is no way to edit anything of that nature.

If I go to Metadata > Published (field) it will only allow me to select something from the drop down box but it says Jan (a down arrow) 101. I don't understand the meaning of that. Same goes for Metadata > Date (field), just above it.

Also, there is no known ISBN number for this book, but I do have an LC control number, which I would like to insert somewhere. I cannot figure out where to do that though.

I'm so sorry to ask something that has likely been repeated, but I cannot seem to find an answer on Google nor a thread here. I did find this thread here but that doesn't relate to entering information.

Yipes. All this for just a couple of things. lol!
