Along the lines of "Complete" meaning you've got all their books, or "NeedMore" meaning you still have to get some of their books.
Even a star rating would be nice.

macnab69 - to address your specific issue I create empty books (books with no format files) with title, author(s) etc, I also have a custom column (status/Status) with a defined set of values - one of which is '99 - Missing'.
So its not too hard to find out what books I have/don't have for a particular author
That said, there are other reasons I would like to have Author metadata, as a place to store associated urls - blog, publishing site, employer etc. also something that would to link author names when pseudonyms are used, or different spellings in different languages, even sometimes in the same language.
I read quite a lot of economics & Law - it would be nice to be able to classify authors as Monetarists, Keynesian, Black Letter etc.
