Maybe the title is more accurate now, but still there are no informations for
what purpose he wants to optimize his books.

You can optimize a book in order to beat humans at various time controls and
you can optimize a book in order to beat other programs (In the latter case time
controls are not that important).

Furthermore an optimized book for a specific top program can be crap for any
other top program.

Downloading a huge number of games played by the specific engine might be a good
start. The rest is a lot manual work.
