@davidfor - In my primary Books folder Apple has a .plist that contains information on all the books I've downloaded. It does have the information I need, but also a ton more, and is probably not in a format a program can parse out the information I need.
You might be able to massage it into a suitable format. I'd need to see it to get an idea of how much work it would be. But, at the least, it gives you somewhere you can copy the title and authors from.

I think you are right, that I need to go through manually and add the titles and authors. Hopefully then I can pull covers automatically
It's a pain but sometimes it just comes down to doing the work.

I try to that, but, my cats consider that to be a good time for some attention.
