I started adding those because it was fairly easy.
Calibre had Add from ISBN
I had a Keyboard wedge version of a barcode scanner. By then more than 5o% had barcodes, another 15% had ISBN (the rest had other numbering or none)
For covers, if I did not like what Calibre found back in 2010, I slapped the book or books (I could fit up to 4 on my HP 4C) . An hour or so a day and a year latter, I had my entries (calibre did a lookup at 6the time) and now it only took time to cull and normalize the data.
