I've been on LibraryThing for over a decade now -- it really is fantastic. (It offers a lot of customization for each book entry too, which we idiosyncratic-perfectionist cataloguers certainly appreciate.) I always enjoy looking through the list of libraries most similar to mine. Great way to find books I might like.
How does LibraryThing assign unique identifiers (keys) to books without ISBN numbers? Probably half the books in my collection fit into that category.
When I last looked at catalog software for my books a few years ago the most used packages assumed the existence of an ISBN. It was a real impediment, and I put the whole project aside.
I used LibraryThing very successfully to catalog the books in my church library. I keep intending to use it for my own books, but somehow I never quite get around to it. It's definitely a great service.

Thanks -- easy to use?
This is miraculous
