@sjfan
- This is a good idea. I have heaps of manuals in my kitchen drawer. Maybe I should just digitalise all of my manuals.

This way, I can keep track of which books I need to deal with. Other people accomplish much the same thing by using a separate intake library, but when you have several main libraries with different custom columns, having a duplicate of each structure is too unwieldy. A single custom column in each library works better for my work flow.
I note you both use columns to keep track if a books metadata/formatting is correct/complete although you tackle the information differently. I think I may add this column as it may be helpful to know if the metadata is complete and also if the books TOC is correct/up-to-date.

@ilovejedd - What tags do you use exactly?

@latepaul - Do you export the price values to get the TOTAL price? Why is price so important to have for you? You like to see how much you spend?
