TheWoWDB"In the Shadow of the Light" is in The Reliquary (First room)
"Kel'Thuzad's Deep Knowledge" on a bookshelf to the left (or to the right) in the Hall of Illusions (Second room)
"Forbidden Rites and other Rituals Necromantic" is in the Butcher's Sanctum to the right before the Flesh Horrors (or after and to the left) (Third room)
"The Dark Grimoire" is on Professor Slate's table in the Viewing Room (Fourth room)
Edit: Upon running this dungeon on live, it appears the spawn points may vary. These are the spawn points it gave me. If you're having trouble finding the Dark Grimoire, I've had it spawn in the back right of the room on a table. The sparkles are barely visible, so you really have to look for it.

In Remix this book for some reason requires level 40 to click on. I can't recall any other quest objective like this that was locked behind a level requirement but not the actual quest itself. Why didn't they just make the quest require level 40?
I've ran this three times now and every time there is no "The Dark Grimoire" in Professor Slate's room. All five of us looked over every inch of the room and nothing. Very annoying I can't complete this quest. Hope others aren't having this problem.
