I'd create a "work in progress" library, add everything to it and then as you correct books, move them to a another "finished" library. There is no magic bullet...

When I did my initial load I added books to the 'work-in-progress' library in 'batches', where a batch was about how many books I think I could bash into shape in day or two. It took about 3 months.

Use the Copy to Library tool to move them to the 'finished' library. It is in the default book list context menu, you can add it to a toolbar if that suits you better.
