TheWoWDBJust a tip: Pick up the "Unyeilding Souls" quest http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10050 along with this quest as you'll likely have to kill some of the undead there to get to this book.

Found it at 54,86 on the step of the abandoned building south of the armory.
This book is not in any of the buildings inside the Expedition Armory, but it is outside the south wall still in Expedition Armory territory. Its on the steps of a small burned down building as south as you can get without falling off the edge of the land. If you look at the World Map of Hellfire Penninsula the book can be found between the "M" and the "O" of the word "Armory" on that map. Good luck and have fun!

Description
<The priest's gaze slowly moves from his mug to you.> Don't you know better than to bother a man in his cups? Oh, what's the use? I suppose newcomers are a good sign. What would Turalyon think? I remember the eve of our departure, when I gave Mysteries of the Light to him. During the campaign and the ensuing years, he never forgot to read his daily passage to the men. When he left us again, he gave the book back to me. Like a fool, I believed it safe in my quarters to the south of the armory.
