A way that some people handle this is with an "intake" library. All new books are added to the intake library, metadata is updated and then the books are compared to what is in the main library. Then they can be deleted or replace the version in the main library.

The Find Duplicates plugin can help with this as it can compare two libraries.

Another thing you can do is to have calibre add a "new" tag to the book when it is added to your library. Then you will know which is the new book when you do the duplicates check. Of course, you need to remember to remove this tag when you finish this and any other processing you do for new books.
