Post Import book list from Excel

I'm using Caliber for my ebooks, but also to create a catalog of my paper books. I would find it very useful to be able to load into Calibre a catalog of paper books currently managed by Excel. Is there any way?
Thanks, Giacomo

The Import List plugin can do what you are asking for. If any of the books you are importing are already present in calibre, it will match these books and give you the option to update the metadata. For books not present in your calibre library, it will give you the option to create empty books.

Edit: I forgot to mention that you must save your excel sheet to a csv file.
