Well we'll still be cataloguing our books by looking at them and typing stuff in cos of being antiquated, plus not all of them have bar codes ...

I estimate rather fewer than one percent of the books that are our primary target for cataloguing (those inherited from my grandfather) have barcodes, or indeed ISBNs, or in several cases any hint of such details as a publishing date, or a publisher... If that job ever gets finished, then I suppose something like this might be useful for cataloguing the rather more mainstream/modern rest of our books.

Only about 10% of my books so far have lacked ISBNs.

My grandfather was a collector - very much for love rather than money, I may add - mainly of old children's books, books illustrated with woodcuts, and books from the very small presses like The Golden Cockerel. So the majority of them are way too old to have ISBNs. (We only have a relatively small proportion of his total collection, even if it doesn't feel like it as we are attempting to catalogue it!) The exceptions are the few other books that we were interested enough in to keep as well, mainly on Gilbert and Sullivan and madrigals I think ;-) I am cataloguing them partly for my interest and partly for the family's interest, though my uncle (the eldest son) had any with actual monetary rather than sentimental/interest value.
