Then find all books by one author (the one author you have the most books of, or the one you like reading best), and move them to a "Work" library. When there, set the author name correctly, for all books at once. Then run through the titles, metatags, covers, "Edit Book" (removing all errors and such), one by one, etc... and do everything you want done to the book.

Then move those books to the Main library.

Next author...

I've organized my library in this way, and it works well. You can just do a few books a day. Even if you only do 5 a day (which won't take you more than about 20-60 minutes after some practice, and depending on how precise you are and how much data you want to be in the metadata), you'll be done with 1000 books in 200 days, or a bit more than half a year.
I don't use the intermediary Work Library, but otherwise, this is what I do too.
