I thought about this for some time and I think that in worst case we need only two books, that probably doesn't exist today.
One book must describe how to create metal, iron and steel - what kind of rock formations can contain iron ore and other ores, how to manufacture it starting from zero, without any instruments, how to create steel using iron instruments etc.
Second book must describe electricity - what is it and how to create it in maximum possible ways. Chemical, mechanical etc.
Books should be either etched on rust resistant metal plates or maybe on some plastic polymer sheets, pages bound together with a variation of spring binding.
Also wherever possible any single page should be self-contained and if used separately from the book contain at least some useful information.
At the time of rebuilding civilization, knowing about minerals in rocks probably wouldn't be useful. Even today you have to mine very deep. Nearly all of the worlds resources are now to be found at surface levels.
This. If "civilisation" (as we know it) had to be rebuilt, it would not be possible. All the easily extractable resources have been used. The equipment needed to get out the remaining would not be possible starting from stone age technology.
Any rebuilt civilisation would not be technological. The "best" we could "hope" for would be agrarian based, with 0% unemployment, people living in cohesive communities, with active fulfilling lives....
If civilisation ended all the materials we mined would be on the surface except the things we burnt.
Gigatonnes of metals even the completely rusted out remains would be far easier to refine.
Not to mention all the other stuff.
Hardest problem would be energy as we have consumed easily available fossil fuels but that's not intractable, we in the west of built our way of life on profligate fossil fuel consumption, there are other ways.
Everything else probably can be lost.
