Oh, that's so painful; know that we feel your pain!

If you use a sql backend (sqlite is certainly the easiest to set up), it
saves everything you do as you do it. This means two things: you won't have
the catastrophe that you described, and you can't back out of changes by
closing without saving. Either way, you'll want to take periodic backup
"snapshots" of your books.
