Restoring Database Missing books

I took some advice to restore the database on a library that got pretty big. It reduced the file to 40mb instead of 60. However, it seems that I went from 6062 books to 5954. I had been checking and vacuming the library for ages, but never had any missing or added books. Why would this happen?

When I checked the libary after it showed a lot of additional authors, so I moved the library to a new library in hopes that the "additional authors/titles" would be left behind and I could add them to the new library. I was only left with three books.

What gives? I could understand if I had the wrong book in a file with other books, but the library shows almost 100 missing books.

Fortunatly I kind of backed up, just the metadata file, so I can see which books are missing, but why would this happen?

It was not current on the metadata backup.

EDIT:

I noticed that the books that weren't in the library are books that didn't have metadata opf files.
