Copy metadata to clipboard in the book list only works for one book at a time, the assumption being you will be pasting it into another book.

But you can paste what it copies into something like a text editor, and you'll get something like this

Code:

Title               : Quick Start Guide
Title sort          : Quick Start Guide
Author(s)           : John Schember [Schember, John]
Languages           : eng

In Preferences->Shortcuts->Edit metadata you can set keyboard shortcuts for Copy metadata and Paste metadata, I have them set to Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. Or you can select them from the Edit metadata button drop down.
