Because I had trouble finding those books without a rogue, I made some screenshots so other priests won't have to deal with the same problems:

Commento di SeraphX

There are 12 Books to get, Locations as follows. Will Post Screenshots every time I find one.

Volume I | The Violet Citadel in new Dalaran. World Spawn - might be on cooldown!
The Violet Citadel in new Dalaran is where Khadgar is located. On the left side, there is an NPC named Archivist Elysiana. Behind her are two bookshelves, in the right one you will find volume 1.
‾
Volume II | Behind Juvess the Duskwhisperer in the Class Order Hall. World Spawn - might be on cooldown!
This is a bit vague - on the other side of that little room is High Priestess Ishanah, right next to her an Dranei Anchorite. In front of the Anchorite you will find the book as seen in the screenshot "1 of 3 found in the Class Order Hall".
‾
Volume III | New Hearthglen in Northrend. World Spawn - might be on cooldown (60 Minutes Respawn)
Book (Coordinates 73,72) is on a bookshelf in the Library Wing (left side) of the cloister - Ground level - Entrance at 72,73..
-
Volume IV | Bookshelf to the left of Meridelle Lightspark in the Class Order Hall. World Spawn - might be on cooldown!
This is fairly easy, on the left side of Meridelle Lightspark (whom is also selling your Priest Set) there is a shelf. On the lower board, there are some stacked books, on the right side of them you'll find it.
Also seen in screenshot 2 of 3.
‾
Volume V | Chillheart's room in Scholomance.
Enter Chillheart's room - you don't need to kill the boss. Kill the first trashpack on the right side. The book is on the 6th bookshelve from the right.
‾
Volume VI | Archivist Inkforge in the class order hall.
For the Archivist you need to talk to him. Always choose the middle answer (passive curious, not judging) and he will give you the first Page.
‾
Volume VII | The Flameweaver's library in Scarlet Halls.
Run through the instance, kill Flameweaver Koegler. on the left hand side of the room there's a table with a tri-candle. On the bench between the table and the bookshelve you will find volume 7.
‾
Volume VIII | A rare in the cave south-west of Halls of Valor in Stormheim (Inquisitor Ernstonbok). If several kill the mob, only one Priest is able to loot the book!
As the description says, it's the cave south-west of the Halls of Valor, Screenshots added, just kill him while you have the item from the Order Hall and he drops the book.
‾
Volume IX | Artificer Lothaire in Moon Guard Stronghold, Suramar. If several kill the mob, only one Priest is able to loot the book!
Artificer Lothaire is a rare found at 33.7,15.0 Moon Guard Stronghold.
‾
Volume X | Black Rook Hold in corner of room with ghosts and bookshelves.
After defeating the first boss, you will get into the Map-Room with a large setup in the middle. Head along the left side, the book is on one of the tables.
‾
Volume XI | Guardian's Library in old Karazhan.
After the Curator jump down to the right, head straight into the first alley / nook. There is a tapestry and 3 bookshelves below. On the left bookshelf socket lies Chapter 11.
‾
Volume XII | Chief Bitterbrine on the Queen's Reprisal in Azsuna. If several kill the mob, only one Priest is able to loot the book!
Chief Bitterbrine is the Captain of the Queen's Reprisal found at 65,56 in Azsuna. Just fly to the Shakle's Den and head East.
‾

Update: The Books are available right now (thanks to Phuryz)

Requirement seems to be Artifact Knowledge 4.
Furthermore, the world books seem to be on a spawntimer.
Also drops from Bosses/Rares can only be looted by one priest at a time.

You may also find this video guide helpful. It is showing you all the locations: https://youtu.be/5kFc3bziWMc
Thank you Kinulii for allowing me to use it in my post :)

Just btw, I've made a guide about this - which is a bit more detailed where to get everything (including screenshots!):

Have fun girls and guys!

Commento di eKatherine

I found one of these in Scarlet Halls when I was farming for the Tome of Teleport to Ancient Dalaran on my lower level mage.

Commento di SomeRocks

Has anyone found one of these on live? i am not able to see any of them.

Commento di Draeld

Can these volumes be looted without being max level?

Commento di Artsche

I just looted every book! you need to reach artifact knowledge 4 first!

Commento di AkaraBWR

I think the respawn timer is around 1 hour.

I went to the spawn location in New Hearthglen, saw a priest leaving the spawn room and I waited 58 minutes before it spawned for me. So, it might be longer, but atleast an hour!

Commento di coronna

Confirmed - 1 waited exactly 1 hour for Volume III | New Hearthglen in Northrend.
From a pack of priests and somebody looted at 11.37, i was the lucky one at 12.37

Commento di Kinulii

Made a video guide showing the location of all of the books.

Commento di Casslynda11

For anyone confused about how to 'Combine' the 12 books - You go back to your Order Hall and speak to Archivista Forgianero and he will combine them for you :)

Commento di GorgeousAngel

For everyone who has all 12 of You have to give them back to Archivist Inkforge.
If you can't and he stays Grumpy. Its probably a bug.
It happened to me.
I made a ticket and the GM told me to report it as a bug since I had all the requirements.

Before I made the Ticket, I verified with 2 other discipline priests who had the hidden artifact appearance already. The only thing you need is to have all 12 books. Then, you should be able to give them to Archivist Inkforge. If not, report the bug too please.

No bug, you can pick up books more than ones!

Commento di etalia

For those of you like me who had 12 books and still couldn't talk to Archivist Inkforge - you've have been hit by the reset bug mentioned elsewhere in this thread, and detailed in this forum post: http://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20749376060

To check if you are 'missing' any books, despite having them in your bags, run the following scripts (easy to do with the addon Paste):

/script print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44339))
/script print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44340))
/script print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44341))
/script print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44342))
/script print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44343))
/script print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44344))
/script print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44345))
/script print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44346))
/script print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44347))
/script print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44348))
/script print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44349))
/script print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44350))

This will check all 12 books in order, and print true or false for each one.

Edit: Even if you have 12 books in your bags, you will still be able to "reloot" them. You may end up with more than 12 books in your bag, but will still be able to turn in to Inkforge as normal.

Commento di Dr4k3Z

If like me you have also experienced the "weekly reset bug" here are the scripts mentioned above by etalia. I have found out that the number of the quest (for example book-looted-12) does not correspond to the number of the volume. These are the ones had bugged for me, their corresponding location and script.

/script print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44340)) - Book next to Juuves in order hall
/script print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44341)) - Book in Hearthglen (Northrend)
/script print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44344)) - Book next to Meridell in order hall
/script print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44350)) - Drop from Inquisitor Ernstenbok (Stromheim rare)

Commento di Ayeren

It appears that you have to get the one from Archivist Inkforge first for the rest of them to spawn (or I am very lucky because after i got the one from him the rest of the books in Dalaran (3) were visible for me and i could loot them - they did not spawn for me earlier)

Commento di Trevorthedude

after 10 kills, it doesnt seem to want to drop from chief bitterbrine. i put in a ticket asking if killing it before i hit 110 and thus removing the vignette is changing the drops.

Commento di abdomari

I have struggled for 2 weeks to get this done!
Here are some information that i can share after all of the mess i went through.

Artifact Knowledge =4
Some books have re-spawn timer.
The "quest chain" starts by talking to the dwarf on the bench in the class order hall.
If you "START" this hidden skin chain make sure you "FINISH IT" within the week!
There is a hidden weekly reset on some of the books, even if you have them in bag, you actually don't!
If you went through the hidden weekly reset, then go back to the dwarf on the bench in the class order hall to re-start it.
Under no circumstance delete or throw away some of the books because then the quest chain might become broken.

Below is a more "ACCURATE" list of the numerical order of each volume and the corresponding "hidden" quest IDs
The script will tell you (true) or (false) if you are okay on the book or not.

Commento di dythe

Can you be any spec of Priest to loot these? I heal 5-mans as Holy, so I'm mostly curious about the Black Rook Hold requirement.

Commento di snakey33

Volume III | New Hearthglen in Northrend.

for those who are wondering where is this place... its in the south of DRAGONBLIGHT (cords : 72.73)

Commento di Impatiens

This wasn't clear to me from some of the other comments, but it seems that you need to talk to Archivist Inkforge first before any of the other books will appear. So don't be like me and check Violet Citadel first because you happen to be right there and then stand around waiting for a while expecting it to appear. Go talk to the Archivist. As soon as I did that the ones in my class hall appeared (they weren't there before, I looked) and the one in Violet Citadel was there once I left the hall and checked again.

Commento di Vargur

You will receive Scritti sulla Fine at the end of your collection spree, a discipline artifact appearance, as well as Potenziale nascosto if you haven't already got it.
Note that you must be in Discipline spec to use the item, but you can revert to your previous spec and nothing will be lost.

Commento di Kazima

Regarding Volume III In New Hearthglen I would like to add the fact that it seems you need some part of the priest campaign done if it wasn't obvious (which it wasn't for me).
I camped the spot for 2 hours, after having done the campaign quests in the area and the adds were still level 110, until it dawned on me that there might be some phasing involved.
After getting Mariella Ward as a follower i went back, the adds were back to their original level (71-73), and the book was just sitting on it's spot laughing at me. Happy hunting everyone!

Commento di Salviswin

For anyone having trouble getting one of the tomes to drop!

I had collected 10 of the 12 books with no problems - but there were two tomes that just never seemed to drop:

1 ) Chief Bitterbrine
2 ) Blackrook Hood

I camped Bitterbrine for two hours, killing him over a hundred times and no tome would drop. Over the course of a few weeks I also did Blackrook Hold about a dozen or more times - and I would never see the tome on the table. I saw a lot of advice for if you already had 12 books but couldn't submit them to Archivist Inkforge - but no advice for if you couldn't see to loot specific books. When I ran the scripts to check if the game thought I had looted the two remaining books - both returned 'false' - indicating I had not looted them.

What worked for me was returning to Archivist Inkforge, clicking the specific responses to start the process, and receiving the first book again. At this point I had 11 books. I killed Bitterbrine and the tome dropped. I ran a Blackrook Hold on normal and the tome was on the table - at this point I had the bug that many people receive where they have 12+ books but Archivist Inkforge won't accept them. I ran the scripts for every book and found that although I was carrying 13 books at this point (the 1st book twice and 11 others) - I received 'false' for the books in New Hearthglen, Dalaran, and Suramar.

After re-collecting New Hearthglen, Dalaran, and Suramar - I had 15 books in total and when I returned to Archivist Inkforge he took all 15 and gave me the hidden artifact appearance.

TLDR - If you can't seem to receive specific tomes, return to Archivist Inkforge and start the process over with the first book. At this point you should be able to loot the books you hadn't been able to before. If you still can't complete the chain at this point - run the scripts and see which books you need to re-collect!

Commento di ixnorp

Took me several minutes to figure out where the Stormheim rare is because his name is misspelled in most of these guides.
It's Inquisitor Ernstenbok and not Inquisitor Ernstonbok
Wowhead's index of him is Inquisitore Ernstenbok

Commento di Devious05

I picked up 2 of the books last week intending to finish it and ran out of time. Came back to my class hall to pick up the other 2 books and couldn't see either of them at all. Tried to talk to archivist again and got the first book again. Tried to see other 2 books, no luck. Deleted all my books hoping to start afresh and now he wont talk to me. Brilliant design Blizz.

Commento di schmilblick

After collecting ALL the 12 books, talk again to the archivist and he will give you the final one Scritti sulla Fine

Commento di eleytwun

For the New Hearthglen book, if you go there while you have the quest to retrieve Mariella, it will be a level 110 zone and the book, in my experience, wasn't there. I finished and turned in the quest, returned to New Hearthglen, and it was there. Hope this helps. <3

Trying to do a coordinate thing for all points. So far I do not know if you can place markers for dungeon maps:

/way Dalaran:Broken Isles 30.3 51.1 The Annals of Light and Shadow - Volume I - at the bookshelf
/way Dragonblight 73.3 73.0 The Annals of Light and Shadow - Volume III - Lef, 2nd room, ground floor, ontop of the bookshelf
/way Netherlight Temple 58.7 24.6 The Annals of Light and Shadow - Volume II - on the table - has respawn timer
/way Netherlight Temple 37.9 25.3 The Annals of Light and Shadow - Volume VI
/way Western Plaguelands 69.35 73.14 Scholomance Entrance - Right side of instructor Chillheart on the right side last bookshelf
/way Tirisfal Glades 82.42, 33.03 Scarlet Halls entrance -The Annals of Light and Shadow - Volume VII Last Boss on the leftern side
/way Deadwind Pass 47 73 Entrance Karazhan - The Annals of Light and Shadow - Volume XI - After the curator - rightern side - hard to describe
/way Suramar 33.7, 15.0 Artificer Lothaire - The Annals of Light and Shadow
/way Azsuna 65.1, 56.5 Chief Bitterbrine - The Annals of Light and Shadow
/way Val'sharah 38.7, 53.2 Black Rook Holde - The Annals of Light and Shadow
/way Stormheim 63.6 74,6 Inquisitor Ernstenbok - The Annals of Light and Shadow

Done with best care, but I have already collected some books. I hope it helps collecting them all.

Commento di UndeadWarlock

I'm not sure how but I did the most easily obtained 4 (3 from order hall, 1 from Violet Citadel) probably around 7.2 or so and it seemed to reset my progress without resetting my inventory, meaning I could go back and loot those same 4 again. (It also meant that I had to talk to the Archivist again to see them.)

Commento di meganerd18

So I got the one from talking to Inkforge, the one from the Violet Citadel, and the one from the Inquisitor in Stormheim. I went back to Netherlight to get the ones there, and they're not showing up. Talking to Inkforge again doesn't do anything, he's not giving me the option for responses, so I don't really know what to do.

Commento di isan

I can't seem to get this quest to work out. I've tried several times , each time starting from nothing in a new week and going around and picking up all 12 books. Then i go back to the order hall and the dwarf will not give me the "Writings of the End". I have used the scripts posted here to confirm that all 12 quests are marked completed. I've tried it as disc the entire time, and as holy. I did everything in a single login session. Anyone have any ideas?

I know several have already posted scripts above, but, i find it frustrating when its just a list of false and trues.... so here is a better list.

This will display yes no after each one, and link it to th ename of the item. Also, you must use the addon "paste" to paste the whole list,
Good luck

Commento di Zeffyra

The reset timer seems to have been removed now. I gathered most of the books a year ago, and got the Black Rook Hold book today, and was able to turn it all in. I received the reward and used it, and the appearance was available.

Commento di neareida

I finally got back to getting this appearance 2 expansions later, it appears Blizzard has changed the script to print if you have completed a hidden quest. I was having trouble with the ones listed here.

I had it return true/false with this new format. I recommend using an addon like Paste if you'd like to run all of these at once.
