Book random 1 says choose from the best N (you get to set N with book width N
command) moves based on percentage of the time they were played, etc.  You
also get to set the formula used to set the weights for learning scores,
frequency of play, etc (book weight command).

Book random 0 is something else.  It says to find the set of known book
moves, and then do a normal alpha/beta search, but _only_ searching that set
of moves...  frequencies/win-lose etc have no influence.
