Go in through the west set of doors from the courtyard of Dire Maul. You really don't need to clear anything except a path if you have ever cleared DM before. The one exception could be the big tree guy right before the door where you use the crescent key for the first time in the instance (just to get around him). He's at the bottom of the ramp. 80's shouldn't have much trouble getting past most mobs without drawing aggro.

Once you're past that, you'll enter the big circular room.. Hug the right wall until you get to the next door. This will take you to the library where this quest point terminates.

If you're looking for the 700 quest achievement in Kalimdor, this is one more towards that goal.

You can actually just go straight into DM North and take the door in the south-west corner of the lower area and it will lead you straight to the quest turn-in. There's no mobs to fight at 80(maybe lower too) going this way.

Also, you can only turn in this quest once, so don't make the same mistake I did and buy a whole bunch of them trying to get rep, it won't work.

This quest will give you 17,160 experience if you complete it at level 54. It is possible. My Night Elf Hunter did it. The quest is RED at level 54.

Clicking the Show Map button sent me to Alterac Mountains, Dalaran crater.

Since I didn't loot the item, it would never have occurred to me to look around DM, and the quest text contains no hints as to where or who the rightful owners are.

The book dropped for me about a month ago. While in Feralas I swung by DM to see if the quest would still work. You can still turn it in; it awards the trinket and 87 silver, as well as 500 Shen'dralar rep and 1 guild rep.

Not so obsolete after all.

Found this item in my Hunter's Bank - seems that the Quest is dead as the item doesn't allow the Quest to be accepted; Shendralar rep. is dead, so makes sense...
