TheWoWDBIf you have picked up any of the Bradensbrook Investigation healer artifact empowerment quests (for example Holy: The Bradensbrook Investigation) then the book you have to pick up will be phased out.
You can get around it by abandoning the artifact quest (or completing it) and then moving out of the area and back in.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- ...And the Anvil
If you truly wish to see my work then you'll have to go and retrieve it as my shop has been raided of everything I've made. The breastplates of the Black Rook soldiers were one of my greatest accomplishments.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Sweet Bargain
Reading over this research, I found an interesting method that I'd like you to try. The method would require us to chill the metal to sub-freezing temperatures during the pre-tempering phase. Simple water quenching won't do.
