Received from: Shaper's assistant [Orzammar - Diamond quarter - Shaperate]

Description: Shaper's assistant (M53, 1) will inform that a valuable book has been stolen from the Shaperate and you can promise him to get it back. Follow his instructions by travelling to [Orzammar - Commons - Dust town]. The person you'll need to talk to here is a dwarf covered in tattoos - Shady Corebit (M49, 3). Don't worry about what you say to him, because you'll have to defeat him in combat to get the necessary information. Check his body and take a receipt.

Exit the dust town and travel to [Orzammar - Commons - Proving grounds]. Notice that reaching the dwarf responsible for stealing the book will only be possible if you've unlocked access to the arena by completing a part of Orzammar's main quest. Explore the northern area of the proving grounds, locate Fixer Gredin (M51, 1) and click on him to automatically start a fight with him and his gang of thugs. Once you've defeated all the dwarves check Gredin's body and collect A volume of shaper history. You can now return this item to Shaper's assistant (M53, 1) or you can sell the original to Jertrin (M51, 1).
