If that's what you mean, then the answer is that you have to make your own book. To use someone else's book is 1) impossible if it's a binary book, or 2) difficult if it's a text book, since you have to know how the moves are organized, and you have to write the code to read and order the moves anyway. There are many messages in the archives of this forum detailing alternative methods for creating opening books. Do a search. Will
