   Hello Tansel!
      All depends of what you expect from an opening book
     most opening books of engines  are made to make "their" engine
     win against human opponents: hence they are very often heavily biased:
     some important lines are completely bypassed so they can't give an
      objective view of opening theory ;
     there is one exception: opening book of tiger15 : it is build as a
      simplification of fritz powerbook : it is sufficiently neutral , and
      I recommand it for you;
       now if you have corr.database , you can get an excellent opening databook
       by importing its games in an empty tree ;I did it , and i use it
       very often : correspondance players are fond of variations that OTB
      players find too complex
   Friendly Yours
