I have a number of chess engines which I run either separately or as analysis
engines running under Chessbase 8.0.  Each has it's own "GUI" and book except
Crafty.  Wouldn't it be nice to run Crafty using a Crafty book?  I cannot do
that right now, or at least don't know how to do so.

My understanding is that Crafty doesn't really have a conventional opening book.
 Instead, it has an anti-human book optimized for use on ICC.

Please correct my misconceptions and tell me how to get the latest and greatest
opening book for Crafty.  I desire to use it when Crafty is running as an
analysis engine for Chessbase 8.0.

Thanks in advance,

Bob D.
