I haven't done much testing. I works with the posted file and is still working with several other test files I have.

@davidfor,
@theducks &
@BetterRed - Thanks for all your help. I think I downloaded the beta and the good news is that it now opens the CSV file but still not in the right format. Unfortunately all your discussion about CSV file formatting does not compute.
I also tried
@BetterRed attachment, but I also ran into a similar problem. When I try and import the list I get the following in the
screenshot. As you can see on the left in contents it looks right but on the preview on the right, it looks very wrong. Am I doing something wrong? Or if I import will it look like the left and don't worry about the preview? Maybe I have set it up wrong...
The way I made the file was I originally had the list in Excel for Mac. I then changed/saved the file into a CSV. Nothing too weird I hope...

I thought that as I didn't have many that I would need to check cover and meta anyway so that was enough information for Calibre to recognise the books. These are also the last of my paperbacks as shifted to eBooks from 2012. I thought it wouldn't take that long to import, but as you can see I have run into problems with importing the file.
It might have been easier to just put them straight into Calibre when I was putting them into the spreadsheet originally, not sure why I didn't do that.
I do also have a huge manga library which I think I'm just going to use an app on my phone (Bar-Code Reader seems to be okay) to scan and paste the ISBN into Add Books from ISBN as they are all in Japanese but haven't got to that project yet...Too bad Calibre doesn't allow you to enable the computer camera to scan in books (read the posts as to why Kovid doesn't want to do this).
