I was planning on keeping the book out of the 5.03 release entirely for the same reason. Perhaps a smaller book would be a better option. Since it is just a (very clean) PGN files, of which it extracts the Grandmaster games, the advice in the notes is just to "head" the pgn file and use as much as you can bare. 5.03 will have improved book handling, and a more upto date list of Grandmasters. Users should "add" GNUchess's own games to the book if they want it to learn to avoid openings it does poorly in.
