I think this is one among several Dann Corbit's books for fruit2.1. (some are
available at WBEC, others on Dann's own site).
Somewhere Dann said that his largest one (around 7 MB) is probably weaker
because of a lack of selectivity.
However in our tests with FruitWCCC the largest one was the best.

I had great difficulty to build something that could compete with it!

In Fruit 2.2 package there are two books of mine.
Book-varied.bin is a large book with almost any kind of opening.
Book.bin is more restrictive (with it Fruit won't play openings that do not suit
him at all).

In our tests, Fruit 2.2 performance with Book-varied.bin are slightly superior
to those with Dann's large one.
With book.bin, Fruit2.2 performs significantly better.
