I take it that the process of adding books to collections then, is just a matter of going through and adding "tags" to your books on the "edit metadata" menu of each book individually, or in bulk.
I believe there is a way of creating collections from the calibre Tags column, but I don't do it that way.

I have a custom column in Calibre (which I call "shelves") in which I put the collection names that I want each book to go into. Adding that custom column is in step 1 of the wiki instructions. The only collections my books will go into are the ones I tell them to.

These collections will _behave_ like tags do, in that books can be on more than one shelf; but these shelves are not created from your Calibre Tags column.
