I've added some extra columns. Price paid, Where bought and Read. I use the built-in date column for the date I bought the book, and I've added a custom date column for published date, although I'm not brilliant at filling that one in.

I buy a book, load it into calibre, and the date column then shows the purchase date, unless I neglect to load it in on the same day, in which case I amend the date.

If I really intend to read it, I mark it as unread. If I've bought something I've read before, but will re-read at some indeterminate date, I mark it read. For freebies I leave the read column undefined.
