Subject: Maximize depth

Author: William Wentworth

The maximum depth for an opening book is 40 plies.
That is what the ChessBase T-notes recommend.

What is the reason for that ?
1. Huge files on disk ?
2. Too much time building the book ?
3. After move 20  moves can hardly be called opening moves ?

Can opening books that are too deep be disadvantageous ?
