TheDucks: Calibre 3.040.1 629 books, 1 selected. (Again -these are titles and metadata only. No actual books files.)

The Import List-CSV brought in 628 books. Later I added one pointing at one of the original books - just to make sure the "real" book files were still usable. So 629.

BetterRed: I was considering that if other advice didn't pan out. So - if that works - then I guess I'd be back where I started with my 3000+ books and wishing I could add the titles of the 600 others. Which would be better than where I am now! But hopefully I'd find a more viable way to bring that data in.

My most pressing need is to get my books back. But - if possible - I'd also like to understand where I went wrong. It seems odd that the import feature would replace my entire library instead of adding to it.

Thanks, all - for any attemp to help. Any thing else to try before i go for the restore?
