[GNC] need help with potentially corrupt book

Hi there. I have been using GNUCash for several years now, but I have 
not been diligent it keeping it updated for the end of 2023. I am 
catching up on my finances and spend several hours last night working on 
my "GNUBOOK.gnucash", updated several accounts, saved, and quit GNUCash 
(via File > Quit > Save)

Today, I tried to resume work, and there are no longer any accounts 
showing up in the list. I haven't ever had this issue before. If I open 
up the backup before I did any work, all the previous data shows up 
fine. I checked my filter accounts options to make sure nothing is being 
hidden, and the database still shows as 162.8KiB, whereas the last one 
that works is 153.1KiB.

Any help greatly appreciated. It was only like 2 or 3 hours of work, but 
would like to get it back if possible instead of doing the same tedious 
job again.

Sorry if I did anything wrong with the mailing list, this is my first 
time using it.
