Kolls gave the answer content-wise and I am convinced it is the same for every competitive book. But it sounds much worse than it is. For entering the moves you can use some program that offers huge comfort and a nice GUI, like one of the Fritz programs. Then you save your daily work of nested analysis into a database. With freely availlable tools it is easy to create a plain unnested and commented text file from your work eventually, that the engine can use to create its book in internal format - so technically the answer is no, when it is about the typing. I don't think anyone really types in thousands of moves. Typos would become a *serious* issue this way too I think. Peter
