If the books do not have good metadata (PDF is notorious in this regard) you will probably want to use a Regular Expression to control adding the books, this will extract metadata from the filename.
Preferences ==> Import/Export ==> Adding books
Uncheck "Read metadata from file contents rather than file name"
So, should the first priority be to separate all those with "valid" metadata from those without? Then batch process those with metadata and add those without, individually?
