The Shredder UCI engine does not know anything about opening books, it only gets positions and analyzes them. Therefore, there is no way to make it use its own book, as it does not have one. The Shredder book is managed by the GUI (Shredder Classic) alone. For other engines, things may look different. Many engines, including UCI engines (or Winboard engines, for that matter) have "built-in" book code, so they can use their opening book without the help of a GUI. Examples are Spike or SOS, among many (in fact: most) others. Usually, you just have to activate a UCI option called "Own book" or "Use book" or something similar; in some, you may have to set a flag in an ini-file. I hope this helps! Best regards - Munjong.
