Thanks Kovid,
I am a little further advanced, but I seem to have lost all my books.
The message in safe mode was

"The library database at C:\Users\John's\Onedrive\Documents\Calbre Library appears to be corrupted. Do you want calibre to try and rebuild it automatically? The rebuild may not be completely successful. If you say No, a new empty calibre library will be created."

I said Yes and then got the following message

"Restoring database failed ... Traceback (most recent call last): ... Fail "site-packages\calibre\db\restore.py", line129, in run Exception: Something bad happened"

So I went back and tried again but clicked No this time and got a fully functioning calibre, but with no books.

Have I lost then forever I know they exist in the cloud somewhere! What to do next?? apart from panic???
