Use a database program like Scid to create a big pgn file from existing pgn files on the web. Many engines allow you to make a book (for that engine) from that pgn file. Just a word of caution. Some guis allow both engines in an engine-engine match to share the same book. That is OK provided learning is OFF. Learning should be off unless it is for a book dedicated to one particular engine. And if that engine is updated, it is not good to use the learning from the previous version.
