If you take the PoK book to enter the Overthere you will be on the east side of the evil outpost. Enter on this side. As soon as you do you'll see 2 buildings, one to your left (south) and one to your right (north). The one to your left is the bank with 2 "Tin Bankers". The one to your right is guarded by an Iron Sentinel. Dom K' Perl is in the building to the right. Enter by the Iron Sentinel and walk north. This building is made of multiple rooms laid out in a consecutive north heading. Dom K'Perl is in the third room. Their location is pos 3009, pos 2184.
There is the tome binder with its page's missing, the title "Origins of Pain", and the reference to the froglok raiders ... perhaps originally, players were to discover the raiders had the pages but not the tome binder, and that it had to be obtained in this way instead? Then, perhaps, someone at Verant realised just how absurdly difficult this quest would be for one of such relatively low level, and decided the tome binder would drop on the raiders along with all the pages?
How lovely it would be to know such things as these.
Dom K'Perl says 'Welcome to my little refuge of the mind. Here you may find passage to the grand worlds within a fine book. I have few books for sale, but any good book is rare in the realm of Norrath. On occasion, I even have [rare finds]. Be sure to use good lighting when reading. Strain the brain, not the eye, I always say.'
You say 'what rare finds?'
Dom K'Perl starts rummaging through a pile of books and scrolls. 'Oh yes, yes, yes. Rare books occasionally make their way to me. Ahhh!! I have one title, 'Before Green.' Sounds like a bit of fiction. What would you like to [purchase]?'
You say, 'I want to purchase before green'
Dom K'Perl puts on a monocle and begins to look over the book. 'Hmmmm, Looks fairly valuable. In honor of the book's title, I shall allow you ot trade for it with a fine emerald. What a bargain!'
You say, 'what about scribed tome pages?'
Dom K'Perl says 'I can create a special magic scribed tome page. It has no words, but is not meant to be read. To create one, I will need some illweed parchment and my fee of 2 gold pieces. Once I have these, you may have one scribed tome page.'
You say, 'what reading spectacle?'
Dom K'Perl says 'My spare reading spectacles were stolen by froglok raiders in the swamps. I gave chase but the little buggers hop faster than I run. They were hopping with such fury that they dropped a [tome binder].'
You say, 'what tome binder?'
Dom K'Perl says 'I have a tome binder with the title 'The Origins of Pain'. Sounds like good reading, but it appears to be missing the pages it once held. If you want it, I shall give it to you for a bottle of blood ink from Cabilis and my spare reading spectacles.'
Notes: 1)The Before Green section is for the Tome Raider quest. 2) Scribed Tome Pages dropped after one patch from succulents but were removed. Illweed parchment is under East Cabilis quests and its unknown how to currently get it, or broken. 3) Blood Ink is under East Cabilis quests and is broken or unsolved on how to get it. The spectacles do drop rarely though in the Swamp of No Hope.

I comparison shopped. Yes.. I have a DEF necro. I sold him my goods and got VERY good prices when comparing them to the Tin merchants and other merchants near by. He paid me nearly TWICE what the others were paying.
