As of Game Update 53 you no longer need to obtain the book to start a Lore and Legend quest. Simply examine appropriate body parts, and the first one will give you the quest in the manner of Collections.
By completing more Lore and Legend quests, you increase the number of mob races that can be affected by your Sinister Strike, or Master's Strike, Smite or Rage ability.
