The Book Openings and Game Explorer portions of this site are quite good. But for books I have on hand Modern Chess Openings by Nick De Firmian.
I suggest looking further into the offers this site has since you have a multitude of other players to discuss every single opening with.

:D It is true that a lot of forumers here are dilettantes of chess openings.
What I really want is a simple text file-- chess.com's database would require some bot to traverse it for me, and anyways it's not much use unless you're a member here, which I'm not. This source would really need to be online. Ideally, btw, I'd like a file that looks like this:
e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bb5 Nf6 O-O Bc5 Nxe5 Nxe5 d4 c6 dxe5 Ne4 Bd3 d5 exd6 Nf6 Re1+
e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bb5 Nf6 O-O Nxe4 d4 Be7 Qe2 Nd6 Bxc6 bbxc6 dxe5 Nb7 Nc3 O-O Nd4
e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bb5 a6 Ba4 Nf6 O-O Be7 Re1 b5 Bb3 d6 c3 O-O h3 Bb7 d4 Re8 Nbd2 Bf8 a3 h6 Bc2 Nb8 b4 Nbd7 Bb2 g6
e4 e5 Nf3 Nf6 Nxe5 d6 Nf3 Nxe4 d4 d5 Bd3 Nc6 O-O Bg4 c4 Nf6
e4 e5 Nf3 Nf6 Nxe5 d6 Nf3 Nxe4 d4 d5 Bd3 Nc6 O-O Be7 c4 Nb4
Or something.
Hi all,
I'm interested in finding a large opening book that contains the lines (up to a depth of, say, 12 moves?) and as many variations of as many openings possible. It'd be great if this were in a text format. Ideally, these openings would be ordered by how good they are for white (or black, whatever).
Thanks!
