There are so many, I barely know where to start, but for simple purposes -
1) Add tag "read" to each book you've read.
2) Create search:
Code:
not tags:"=read"
3)Save search as "Unread"
4) Create and apply restriction using the saved search:
http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/sub_groups.html#id3

I don't actually do it that way.
I have a custom column text, like tags called: #read. I put my initials in there if I've read it, and my wife's if she's read it, etc. Calibre saves previously entered initials, so it's a bit easier to mark a book this way than adding a tag.
I search in the custom column, not in tags. The rest is the same.

I know there's a nice thread or two about this, but don't recall where they are. Others will jump in I suspect.
