That's where an Intake library comes in handy. The books are loaded into that special purpose library. After cleaning up metadata, covers, etc., they are copied into the main calibre library (copy and delete).
Locate the directory where your current calibre library directory exists and create a folder called Intake in that directory. Then use the Switch/create library option to create a new library at that location. See the attached image.
Please note that you can call that library anything you want. Intake was my personal choice.
Using the Find Duplicates plugin to check for library duplicates comes in handy as well to keep you from adding a book you already have.
