The solution to this problem is to restore from backup.

It should have been more successful and if the covers are in the directories I thought it would work. Check Preferences - Import/export - Adding Books and ensure that Read metadata from file contents rather then file name is checked (see attached). If it wasn't checked, check it and start from the beginning.

If it was checked already, you may just have a lot of work ahead of you. Hopefully from here on out you will learn to backup your library / metadata.db file.
