with book on, crafty won't play Qxg7.  One book move is f3...

With book off, Crafty will play Qxg7 at any reasonable
time control.

Are you _sure_ Qg7 loses?  Black's king is not
very healthy here either and is going to live in
the center.  It becomes a question of breaking open the
center by white vs using the g-file for black...  Obviously
if white is passive, the g-file is a potential
problem.  But the king in the center is _also_ a problem
for black.
