You can set them to accept different books, ex: I could set one for
Jbook another for F6 general book. But in this event they are all
using the same book F6 general.ctg.

None of the young talents engines come with there own book. And I know
of no way to get either of the other engs Crafty, Comet, Nimzo or Yace
to run their own specific books in say F6 interface.

They all can run from the same book file.

In this computer that I run these tourneys on book learning is set to
- as far as possible, though I am not sure the effect is that great as either
program to move would seek to play the strongest line depending on book settings
and since they all are using the same book the odds seem to me the same as with
a clean (new) book.
