Unfortunately I don't have the skills to debug it. I hesitated to try Calibre's metadata mass update because of the warnings, but running a search-and-replace on the author column seems safe and solves that problem pretty easily.

I do wish there was a better source site than FF - it gives me bogus publish dates and an incomplete, incorrectly numbered series column. Unlike Author, I don't see any easy way to correct those. I've looked at Goodreads, Wikipedia, FictionDB and OrderOfBooks but none have accurate and complete data in the form of a usable database table...
