So the Big question:
How did you 'recover'?

If you re-imported (via Add books), you got what you saw (and there is a good chance you stomped upon the files that could have helped )

metadata_db_prefs_backup (in the root of the library) helps restore the structure <<
metadata.opf in each book folder helps Populate that structure
Any change to the data or structure causes a background job to keep the metadata.opf current
Thank you for the reply

I didn't do it via 'add books'. I went to 'create a new library' and used the url of the old library on my dropbox,
