And whenever I purchase a new book and add it into Calibre, I clean up the metadata, author's name, series name, etc. for consistency immediately. Different variations as mgmueller said drive me nuts as well. I like things neat and orderly, and Calibre helps me maintain that.
Very true. The key to metadata management is to do it as part of the original adding routine. A few extra seconds every time you add a book is easy. Going through a 700-book backlog is a pain.

It gets a whole lot better when you finally get to maintenance mode.
