The "stock" crafty will easily build "enormous"...  I don't think that is his
problem...

However, you don't put the book create command in the crafty.rc file... that is
the wrong way to do it as it might well be attempted before things are set up
right.

Start crafty in a dos window and type the 'book create' command....
