Book for engine testing with cutechess-cli

[micron]

Where can I get a large pgn book for use with cutechess-cli? I have been using the Silver Openings Suite (silversuite.pgn), which has 50 lines. With the -repeat option that gives 100 unique matches, but I want at least 1000.

I am releasing 2400 of them. Completely untested... I just built them! BEWARE!

No duplicates at the end position, some manually selected (~300), most automatically from a book or pgn collections (Norm Pollock), with a reasonable ECO distribution. Very important: They are randomly sorted, so if you need 1000, you can pick the first 1000 and the distribution is kept.
Another very important thing for me, they are in pgn format.
Lines are about ~10 moves (the ones I manually selected maybe not).

Thank you. That is exactly what I was hoping for.
