So I can't seem to find much (any, actually) information on these books, and as this is one of the easier ones to find I figured I'd make my comment here, and I apologize for any lack of item links or locations, I'm not familiar with detailed posting on WoWHead yet.

I found this specific book first yesterday, and thought it was weird that it had a 2 hour duration. So I kept looking for more.

Almost every building in new Dalaran has at least one, and several are found in the streets (a basket by the vendor-stand next to the Violet Hold tunnel is one example), the Underbelly and the quarters beneath Dalaran that lead to the Pillars and portals (tables and the side rooms with all the books, even on the less obvious shelves).

Most are the same book titles listed in the Well Read achievement (perhaps all, I didn't have time to check before work).

They all have the same flavor text referencing Archmage Newhearth, who can be found in Violet Citadel at the top of the stairs on the right (the one who retells the Illidan/Demon Hunter cinematics).

I tried to find as many books as I could within 2 hours before the first disappeared from my bags and I had roughly 20. I found 3 in Underbelly as well regardless of whether the guards were on break or not.

What struck me as strange though, aside from the duration on the books themselves, was that one of the books (the first I found in the Underbelly next to K'huta the Portals and Jujus vendor) burst into flames upon looting it (though the book was still looted), and another book was found in Archmage Vargoth's Retreat.

Vargoth's Retreat was interesting to me because it is only accessible in Dalaran (non-Mages in New Dal) via a toy you get after completing the Higher Learning achievement in OLD Dalaran. Why would they put one there when not everyone would have that achievement (or a 110 Mage)?

Basically, I'm curious as to if there is an achievement or reward concerning these books. The one that burst into flames made me think that perhaps there is an order the books must be looted (perhaps the order they are listed in the Well Read achievement) and all (not sure exactly how many, I found 3 new ones after I got back from work and the others had all expired from my bags) must be looted within 2 hours before the first disappears from your bag.

I tried talking to Archmage Newhearth intermittently while searching and he offered no new dialogue options.

The only place I thought of checking but didn't (I'm not sure if it's classified as part of Dalaran) is the island with Conjurer Margoss.

There was no buff granted by looting these books or after reading all of the ones I had, and I cannot find any achievement that shows progress regarding the possession of these books, though Overachiever lists these books as needing "to be read," even after having looted and read the same book at a later time. So I think Overachiever is confusing the books with the ones required for the Well Read achievement, which as far as I know, is not related (unless completing it is a step to unlocking further progress with these specific books).

Perhaps they're legitimately useless items beyond reading them, but given the duration, random combustion of one, and another being in an isolated location, part of me wants to believe there's a hidden achievement or something that's tied to them.

Given that I was completely sidetracked from my Druid's 7.2 progression for almost 4 hours I probably won't try looting all of them again tonight.

Edit: One thing I did notice though is that all or most seem to spawn in the same place each time, roughly a half hour after the initial book expires from your bags, and nothing else spawns in place of them in that 2 hour duration.

Also, and not sure if it's related, but there is a random readable object in the Legerdemain Lounge on one of the bookshelves simply named "Page 9," that struck me as odd and is something I've never seen before or heard about.

Sorry for the TLDR and thanks for reading. I hope this may lead to something (or the answer is painfully obvious and someone can fill me in, even if it's that these amount to nothing more than reading material) and that my efforts weren't for nothing and/or your time isn't wasted on account of my speculation

Also, I'm on ArgentDawn-US if that helps, but I assume the spawn rate and locations are the same regardless of server.

This is one of forty books added in the 7.2.0 patch which can be found scattered around Dalaran. Interacting with the book will give you a rare-quality item version of it, which last for two hours before being removed from your inventory.

Item: Возвышение Орды
Container: Возвышение Орды
Location: Head to the Violet Citadel, the largest building in Dalaran. Once inside, head up the stairs and go left. Next to Верховный маг Лан'далок there are two bookshelves, the book spawn between the two of them on the floor.

Complete list of book locations:

I wonder if this will be like the Old Dal quest to read all the school of magic books to get an Arcane Familiar? Maybe it will lead to some kind of reward after all the books have been read.

The rare books say in the flavor text that they are a COPY. The Well Read achievement asks you to read the original, so these won’t give credit for the achievement.
