@wood2011 - just for the record

Right click the desktop, select New->Notepad File, that will create a file called "New Text Document.txt", which can be immediately renamed to "Charles Dickens - Bleak House.hbk"

Prerequisite: in order to see the extension, you will need to uncheck Windows Control Panel->File Options->View->Hide extensions for known file types Ψ²

If I had a lot of books to add this way - I would rename the file to "Some One - Some Book.hbk" and keep it at hand for reuse. Then after adding it to my calibre library, I would change the Author and Title in the book list via F2, for the Author at least I would have benefit of calibre's auto completion feature.
