I use the Intergrated Book Adapter Wael, So if you have Aquarium or the Aquarium Demo installed this should work.

1st in Aquarium goto sandbox and select "Tree" from the menu.

2nd select load CTG

3rd Goto Engine configuration and make sure you can select your CTG book

4th Configure your Book Adapter ini file.

Example:

I use rybka here in my example. Important: Place a copy of you engine in the same folder as your Aquarium Book Adapter

Then configure you Adapter ini file. Here is mine.

[main]
engine=Rybka 3.exe
log=0
latency=3
timebuffer=3000
priority=Normal
config=Fritz11
maxmoves=30

[Book 0]
config=Fritz11
maxmoves=0


Lastly, Install Aquarium Book Adapter as a UCI engine in Arena.

I hope the rest of the questions you may have can be answered here:

Also, since I just tested it, with the Stand Alone Adapter it is even easier. Just follow the above. However you can place all you files in one Folder and rename the Aquarium Book Adapter exe file to whatever you want.
