I am afraid crafty beats non-grandmasters with or without a book :-)
Anyway, from what I remember crafty can only use 1 book during a game,
so your suggestion can't be implemented without modifying the binary.

Unfortunately not - each of the 3 engines I know of in debian
(gnuchess, crafty, phalanx) uses a different format.
