Theducks method is better if you will want to look for books on any device or on more than one device. Personally I would use a like-tags custom column instead of a general tag, and I would first remove the book tag from all books before the select & add steps to be sure there aren't any leftovers.
I've already used Theduck's method to add a Nexus 7 tag to books on that device. It will do what the primary purpose of my question was - "How do I recreate the set of books that was on the device before I had to factory reset to do OS changes?"

I'll look at other tweaks later. Another device is being problematic at the moment because it recognizes being plugged in to my desktop to get power and recharge, but doesn't recognize it is plugged into a host and can transfer files via MTP. (I've tried three different cables, one of which I know previously worked.)

USB tends to be quirky.
