I was thinking about querying Google Books API to check if NNPs are book titles/authors, however, as you mentioned, NER produces a lot of entities. Luckily, there is Open Library dump[0] which has around 16 million book titles (IIRC) with some metadata.

I've been using Amazon Product API for Booknshelf (www.booknshelf.com) by passing "category => book" in the search to query only on Amazon Books. The book search by title is quite relevant. I thought this might be useful!
