If your book came as a zipped file, unzip it, it does not really matter where,
only remember where you have unzipped it.

Then go to Arena and open the menu
book - manage
and there click "load".
Go to the location where you have saved your unzipped book and
select the file named xxx.abk.
Having doen so, xou can change some settigns in
Move Selection.
It is a little tricky to get it well configured, but one can say that's the fun
about it ;-)
In the Import section
you can add games from pgn databases to your arenabook.

Dont forget to activate
"Use Arena mainbook", or/and Arena engine books.
Again a little tricky, maybe,but just make some tries,
when you dont need the results desperately.
In a calm hour it shoud be no problem.

Finally in the specific engine settings in "Engine Management"
you have to go to "Datails" and activate the use of the book.
(I always use same main book for both sides, so I am not familiar with the use
of
engine specific books, but I am sure it is not a big problem, if one tries.)
