Bob, are you here? That was a misunderstanding. I was indeed completely unsure about what Bob might like to call Crafty's birthday, but when it is about the book question I just couldn't answer it when you asked me because there was a game running (if I remember it right at least ;) ). Crafty's main book ( default book) consisted of 50620 unique positions. The repertoire book consisted of 19371 unique positions. So my guess was way off.
