Truesilver keys did not work on either door.
All other advise very correct.

Does this count towards the Achivement Lore of kalmdor(whatever)?

Interestingly enough, I completed this in vanilla WoW and already had a https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=18472 Seal of Eldre'Thalas in my inventory / bank, when I had a https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=18359 book drop for me. To my surprize, I was able to accept the quest again. When I tried to turn it in, I recieved the ""Duplicate item found."" Deleting my trinket allowed me to turn the quest in again and recieve another trinket (and another 500 rep).

Yes, I keep a lot of old crap in my bank.

If I come across a third book, I'll try see if the quest is repeatable again.

This quest and the item that starts it is a reference to the Tom Jones album ""The Lead and How to Swing It"".

Interestingly enough the new Quest Tracker added by Blizzard in patch 3.3 tells me that this is turned in at the old location for Dalaran in Alterac Mountains. I ran to the location but there was just a hole.

Be advised.

The trinket now only has the +150 armor equip and not the default 150 armor as stated in the above tooltop. Bit of a nerf, unless the tooltip was incorrect all along on wowhead.

Return and complete quest at Lorekeeper Mykos toward the end, through double doors, then you will be in library looking place. She is toward the end to the left.

If you still have this book in your inventory you can still turn in the quest despite what Wowhead says. I accepted the quest before I zoned in, when I got to Lorekeeper Mykos, the quest was no long in my quest log, but I could still re-accept it and turn it in. =)
