How to add a bookid column?

I would like to add a column that shows the bookid.
Is it possible? Is there a way to do it?
Thanks,
Francisco

To be clear. Which ID? Calibre has {ID}, which is the index it assigns to keep the database details related.
There is Identifiers:<type> (these show in the Details or info pane, when either is open)

To see those in the Grid, you will need a custom column, There is a Quick Create for ISBN

Show where?

You can show it in the Book Details panel (embedded or detached) by checking the 'id' column in Preferences->Look & feel->Book details, viz:

Click image for larger version

Name:	BD - id.jpg
Views:	757
Size:	126.5 KB
ID:	197368

If you want to see it in the book list you have to create a custom 'composite' column with {id} in the template, viz:

Click image for larger version

Name:	Book number column .jpg
Views:	42
Size:	51.0 KB
ID:	197367

FWIW: because I find having an id/id column and an Ids/identifiers column confusing, I have a Book Number/#booknumber column in all my libraries.

You can't change the id/id column
