Peter Chiochetti has published Cake 1.20 with an opening book for Linux. The book is based on a huge opening database of over 1.5 million positions, and is probably nearly error-free. Get the new version of Linux-Cake on the xcheckers page!
Bob, I am currently computing a new small book for release with the next distribution of CB/Cake. This will take 1-2 months, starting yesterday. It should be significantly better than the current book.
Martin is a Swiss physicist and former Swiss junior chess champion. He is the author of Checkerboard, a popular free checkers interface, and of Cake, one of the world's finest checkers engines. His simple checkers engine powers three different iPhone apps by independent developers. Last but not least, he is the author of a checkers app for the Android platform. When not programming checkers, he develops aerosol instrumentation, and spends a lot of his free time in the Swiss alps.

Martin - will you be releasing the large opening database for Cake Manchester? That just might make it the world's strongest program.
