Sounds great, but the use of annotated games would help to get rid of blunder or
weak moves.

You need the advice of an experienced "Book Maker."  You can only hope that one
of them will respond here.

One basic principle would guide my efforts if I were in your shoes:  "Garbage
in, garbage out."  That's why I suggest filtering out all "garbage" before you
"learn."  Otherwise, your new book may be horribly corrupted with "garbage."
Such a corrupted book might do more harm than good, depending on what you
intended to use it for.
