Hi everybody,

As still a newbie in calibre, I was wondering how to get the flwg metadata info when importing an eBook to calibre: the date on which the original book was first published (not the eBook's one). For instance, 'The Secret Agent a Simple Tale' by Joseph Conrad was originally published in 1907, and its electronic version was published in December 2014. What matters to me is to display its original publishing date in my library, ie 1907.

Any advice about how to do so?

Many thanks in advance for any useful tip.

Cheers.

Patrick
