I thought of this while filing #2384...
I was thinking something like project_get_info($project_name, $property = NULL) that would auto-detect project type (from the .info file or the system table?). If $property is omitted, then an array of all the project info would be returned (keyed by property), else the specific property defined in $property. This would allow us to get a specific project property like this:
$human_readable_name = project_get_info('devel', 'name');
...instead of this:
$module_info = system_get_info('module', 'devel');
$human_readable_name = $module_info['name'];
...while still being able to do things like this:
$module_info = project_get_info('devel');
$human_readable_name = $module_info['name'];

I don't think there is currently a way to set back references in bulk for existing books that already reference an author... I believe you can do this with CER through the UI...
Backlinks for Entity Reference?
If choosing the Views approach you can also use https://backdropcms.org/project/eva which allows you to place the list with more flexibility.

Thanks. It still took a lot of trial and error for all the settings within the settings, but I eventually got it to display based on these instructions.
