I have found this discussion but unfortunately all the links are dead.
Would you have books like this to share?
If it is in SAN it can also interest me.
Thank you.

If you can read/parse SAN moves, it means you can read/parse easily a PGN file with multi-games!
I suggest you use opening books in PGN format - they are just multi-games PGN files. It is a kind of standard but not TSCP books and you can find easily many PGN books on the Internet.
If you still want TSCP ones, just convert from PGN books, it is a simple task too.

Thank you for your answer. It was not clear for me that the PGN format could be used for an opening book. So I will try what you suggest. It will be the occasion to test my PGN reader.
By the way, I found another book in TSCP format. It's the book of Aristarch.
The CT800 has such a book format, though a bit modified. A trailing '?' indicates a bad move as usual, and 'x' indicates a move that's not bad but doesn't really fit the engine style. It has around 23k moves in 13k positions. Note that it isn't optimised for strength, but variety.
The book is compiled into a custom binary format that allows transpositions. The tool for that is also in the downloads, along with a technical description in the documentation directory.

Well somehow I need the name for this move notation format in English for another task, but I cannot remember the usual name for it.
IIRC it is not long algebraic notation, because I think this also would specify the piece?
Like Ng8f6 or even 1.Ng8f6, so what is g8f6 called officially?
Handy for computers but ugly, ugly, ugly.
SAN is so much easier to read for humans.
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.
