Apart from the username (last person to save the worksheet) the Book instance as returned by open_workbook does not seem to have any properties.
I recursively dumped the Book ( dumping its dict if a xlrd.BaseObject) and could not find anything in that way. The test files for sure had
an author, company and some custom metadata.
FWIW: LibreOffice does not seem to be able to find author and company either (or does not display them), but it does show custom metadata in the properties.
