That is what Add from ISBN, Add empty book are about
Back when I joined MR I used Add from ISBN in batches of 10-20 so I could resolve the (metadata) failures before grabbing another stack. I used a Keyboard wedge Barcode scanner (The wedge mode simulates a Keyboard AND allows you to type when you get one that wont read OR before barcodes)
In some case, I used the Search The Internet Plugins Search for images to find a cover that matched my edition.
BTW Add from ISBN also allows you to TAG the batch: Location, owner are possibilities
