Just adding this comment as people haven't commented on where the actual book is lately. It's in the room with Lord and Lady Waycrest. On the right just as you enter the room before turning left to face them.
It is possible to complete Seeking More Knowledge before learning Rank 1 Anchor Weed because there is no condition on the quest. This results in no rank and you will be stuck at rank 1 when you learn it later.
Either make sure your learn rank 1 first or contact customer support for a fix.

Description
It pains me to admit that I don't know everything about plants. I've taught you everything I know about Anchor Weed, but I think I know where you could look to learn more. Unfortunately, it's in Waycrest Manor, and that whole area's been crawling with monsters as of late. If you find yourself inside that manor, keep an eye out for a book called, "The Treatise on Anchor Weed". Its author spent decades studying that forsaken weed.
