Description
Very well, I won't deny it. The Steamy Romance Novel is mine. I only read it for the penmanship, I assure you! He writes such curvy "B"s... and such ample "D"s! In fact... you might benefit from a penmanship lesson. The author of these books is one B. Spearshaker. I believe he can be found in the library in Ironforge. Stop reading, student. You are dismissed. And give me my book back!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- An Embarrassing Revelation
This doesn't appear to be an inscription textbook at all... it's more of a steamy romance novel. The pages are just FILLED with tawdry tales of carnality. Could it have something to do with inscription? Either way, Professor Pallin should be confronted.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Legacy Passed On
I've lost my passion, scribe. I just can't get into the voice o' the characters anymore. Take a look at that unfinished book over there on the table. I can't seem to finish it. Maybe ye'll have an easier time with it.
