Moving From Trash

I mistakenly thought that by 'deleting' items from a collection that I was merely removing them from the collection, not sending them to trash. So how do I move them from trash back to a collection or the library? Dragging and dropping doesn't work. The option to cut & paste is greyed out. Help. I have a lot of books that are in the trash simply because I placed them in the wrong collection to begin with. What now?

deleting an item from a collection (i.e. pressing delete while the item is selected) does indeed just delete it from that collection and not from the library. For that you have to either right-click -> delete item(s) from library --> confirm or delete the item while you're in "My Library".
To restore items in the trash, select them and click "Restore To Library" in the right pane.

Thanks, that saved me a ton of work. I was expecting -- after selecting an item -- to be able to right click & restore, or drag & drop, or use the tool bar at the top. The right pane seems nonconformative to the way other programs work. But, again, thanks.

I agree, I don't find that button and its location intuitive at all.
