It depends on how Chessbase has realized the adaption to the Fritz-5.32
interface. If they have also adapted Crafty's original book code, then the
following trick could work:
1. copy Crafty's book files into the "engines" directory of Fritz;
2. load the Crafty engine into Fritz with the book option "no book";

Then, Crafty would find its own book moves.
