Not quite.  IE in the case of the GUI from ChessBase, they handle the book
stuff _before_ the engine gets a chance to do anything for itself.  If you
turn their book off, then your book code will probably work, but only if the
GUI chooses to let the engine make moves for itself.  This is a problem in
the case of ChessBase because it means _any_ engine they are compatible with
can use their books, their learning, etc...

That is messy, to say the least...
