From a thread in the Forums:
Hey Everyone,
I have yet to find a Tome of anything while adventuring these past months, and I was wondering if we could put our collective resources to figure out what quests have tomes in their loot tables. I have seen a couple drop though and these are the quests that I know have tomes in them:
South Threnal II
Vault of Night Part V
Vault of Night Part VI
Tempest Spine
Cult of the Six
VON2 end chest after killing the shade, +1 Int

These tomes, sometimes titled manuals, give permanent onuses to your stats, just like upgrading at level 4,8 etc. The tomes come in different levels anywhere from +1 to +5, but think only +1 and +2 are in the game currently.
the Bonuses from tomes DO NOT stack. That is if you get +1 str tome and a second +1 str tome, you cannot use them both to get a +2. Furthermore, if you first a get +1 tome and then later get +2 tome, reading the +2 will only result in an additional +1. This is becasue the tome provides a total +2 and you alredy received +1 from the first tome. Of course, you just get a single +5 tome and get all the bonus at once, but again, I don't believe those are currently in the game.
there is a different tome for each stat

Quote from Maldini on the DDO boards:
"Someone pulled a +5 Int one out of Tempest Spine, so running that regularly would be a viable option."
