@kovid: I think drawson1 is trying to work out why some books added to calibre are missing metadata and use exiftool to examine the original book to see what was in it.
@drawson1: Look in the preferences on the "Adding books to calibre" page. This has the options for how calibre gets metadata from books when they are added. There is an option to read the internal metadata. And there is template for getting the basic metadata from the file name. I don't remember what the default template looks like, but it is probably splitting the file name at dashes to give a title and author. As the file name you have doesn't have any dashes, you will only get one or the other.
The best thing to do is import your books and look for the problems. Then either fix template and reimport those, or use the metadata download to get the correct title and author. I almost always use the latter.
