How many are you talking about? As Kovid says, you can script it using calibredb if you have the skills. Or you could apply them manually via the GUI if you have a reasonably small number. It might be quicker than getting the script right, and probably less potentially disastrous.

After all, what coder hasn't done a Sorcerer's Apprentice when writing a script to automatically manipulate a data store? (Which is why I take backups first, or create a destructible library to test against.)
