Peter Herttrich has the same data.  He has also "preprocessed" some binary
books.  If you use Intel, they should be ready to go.

if using ftp go to:

insl1.etec.uni-karlsruhe.de
and /ftp/pub/chess/crafty/books/precompiled

My book (about 1.3 million games) is called Crag (sort of competition with P.H's
'rock').  Some others have carefully constructed opening books using hand
selected GM games.  You might like to pose your question on the crafty list
server, as it is right up their alley.
