calibre shows incorrect metadata.

for instance, http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/29932 show title as jigglers, and author as mark coker. why is this? the book author and title is the link above. i also see that mark coker is the founder of smash words. why is this meta data like this and how to i getthe e-book to show the correct meta data? thanks

Just downloaded the EPUB version direct to Calibre .7.29 (Ubuntu Linux).

Perfect on the Meta-data (OK too many tags for my taste )
What format and what Calibre version/OS are you trying

As theducks stated the epub version has correct metadata. But to correct the metadata once you have a book in calibre, select the book and click Edit Metadata icon.
