I see (IMHO) no success in storing the book moves in hash table. If a position
occurs, where there is a book move, it gets played. So in search, you never can
reach a "book position" (correct?)
Second, you have no clue, which evaluation value you should give the book move.
So it would disturb your search, if you would come to such a position (which
IMHO does not happen)
Third, your book (after some years, and after implementing learning) can get
really huge, and will not fit in RAM or hashtables.

But that is only my opinion....
