Even without books, the myths and obvious ruins of previous technological success would be a huge cultural guidepost for recovery.
Perhaps we would go through a 1000 year energy poor "dark age", and recovered populations wouldn't peak as high as ours, but I would expect that to be the worst case if an awareness of our history was not lost.
And maybe 10,000 years, after a complete cultural breakdown to hunter gathering with little functional memory of the past.

Given rewrites of first versions are often much improved for having seen previous failure modes, it would be interesting to pop into the future of a recreated civilization and see how they might do things better!
