If you have completed this quest once, you can mail the book that Kairoz rewards you at turn in to your alts and not have to spend an additional 500 timeless coins. I usually just leave it in the alts mail until I have the quest and upon taking it out of the mail, I get credit for obtaining it. Don't know if this is intended.
How do I get my 1000 Coins backs? I bought it twice not knowing this. I failed both times I turned it in.

Time-Worn Journal, 13g 74s, 4,800 XPDescription
There is much to learn of this place, yet it does not yield its secrets willingly. Something you mentioned the last time that we spoke intrigues me. This Mistweaver Ai, she carries a time-worn journal, if I recall? This may be the answer to many of our questions, or it may simply raise more. I suppose that it all depends on the diligence of the explorer that put pen to paper in this preposterous place. Obtain a time-worn journal and return to me with it. We shall delve into its mysteries together.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Time In Your Hands
Inhabitants of this strange island barter with a special currency, immune from the fickle fluctuations of time. You would do well to gather as many of these "timeless coins" as possible! They can be found hidden away in small caches, or gathered from creatures all around the island.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Timeless Treasures
The journal indicates that treasures abound across the island, sometimes temptingly out of reach, and other times hidden in dark caves and hollows. What might have been secreted away here, many generations ago? And perhaps more importantly, by whom?
The storyline at a glance
The Siege of Orgrimmar has 11 steps, from Journey to the Timeless Isle to The Archiereus Of Flame.
Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Timeless Isle (11).
