The items in this collection can all be found by collecting ground-spawn fluttering pages with a ! over them (and often as mob drops or in objects) in the zones listed unless noted differently below in the list of Items in this Collection.
When you have all the pages and the binding, talk to a Book Binder, or any Collector NPC, to restore the book and complete this quest for your reward and a very nice chunk of experience.
