Ditto. I recently started using calibre to catalog my e-book collection and I love it. So much so that I considered using it to help my wife catalog her physical books. With an added column (I think I figured that out) it would be easy to sort physical and e-books.

I found the command line option for adding an empty book record. But I could not find commands in the forum for importing a list of books from a spreadsheet type record.

I know with the powerful command line interface that there must be an option. Is it an option I'm missing or does this require heavy scripting?

If the further information helps I'm thinking of creating an access database with a simple form to enter in the ISBNs, then import the records into calibre to download the metadata and covers.
