 Restoring with calibre was tricky as the library rebuilding tools (calibredb restore_database) and also using Calibre's graphical interface to restore a library, both only found those books that had an OPF file. Unfortunately, it seems that the OPF file isn't automatically created when books are added (and perhaps not edited) in calibre-web. SO... it's possible to use calibredb's add command to re-add all the books back and rebuild everything. BUT, the downside here is that all the the books will get renumbered and thus break all existing links (which feels like a big pity as someone who likes to link to specific books / pages).
 
 SO what I am doing is:
-    (1) Locally on my laptop, I rebuild a new library with:

         calibredb add -r -1 --library-path=tmp/ Bootleg\ Library/

 where tmp is a new directory...

 NB: all the books that are found and added get an OPF file.
     
-    (2) Copy the OPF file from the newly generated library, into the old library for books that have no OPF file already. In doing this, REWRITE the OPF calibre_id to match the old ID (which is in the folder name).

 For this I used the script [add_missing_opf.py](scripts/add_missing_opf.py)
