I’m not actually a crypto guy and I know of stories where people have done this in serious environments (check the link I posted above for an example) but my understanding is that non random letter distributions like you will find in a book for example will potentially change the level of security you can expect from a OTP substantially against a sophisticated enemy and as a result the randomness is actually very important regardless of key length.

I might be wrong, it’s not my area of expertise.
