I want to add tags on the top of existing tags of the ebook entry in the library, I can't use set_metadata because it replaces the existing tags. I have to do this for hundreds of books, so it is not possible for me manually copy and paste old tags.

How can add tags instead of replacing (for an existing ebook in the library)?
How can I retrieve only tags? (show_metadata id pulls all the metadata but how to get just tags?)
