Smelling History
Read the following Azj-Kahet books while under the effects of Polymorphic Translation.
Smelling History requires you to read a series of Azj-Kahet books while under the effects of Polymorphic Translation, rewarding the Kaheti Scribe's Records decor item upon completion.
Buy the Potion
Purchase the 
Potion of Polymorphic Translation: Nerubian from Siesbarg, found at 45.1, 13 in the City of Threads. The buff lasts 10 minutes, so plan your route before drinking it.
Plan Your Route First
Before drinking the potion, set up your waypoints for all book locations so you can move efficiently. A suggested macro approach is to paste all coordinates and place all markers before consuming the potion, ensuring you lose no time navigating.
Read Strands of Memory
Click and read Strands of Memory at 27.71, 54.6. The book registers about half a second after clicking, but let the cast complete fully before moving on.

Head to 23.64, 51.07 and read Treatise on Forms: Lords.
Read Queen Books
Read Queen Anub'izek at 37.1, 32.75, Queen Zaltra at 38.42, 32.27, and Queen Xekatha at 38.26, 35.55.
Read Treatise: Skitterlings and Sages
Read Treatise on Forms: Skitterlings at 38.54, 37.74, then find Treatise on Forms: Sages at 38.22, 39.02 — walk around to the back of the desk as it is not visible from the room entrance and is leaning against the desk.
Read Treatise: Ascended
Travel to 77.98, 41.03 and read Treatise on Forms: Ascended.
Read Ethos of War Books
Read all four Ethos of War books: Part 1 at 62.96, 31.17, Part 2 at 66.69, 31.28, Part 3 at 48.85, 24, and Part 4 at 43.25, 25.55 — all located in the second zone.
Tips
Complete the Bookworm achievement at the same time using the same potion so you do not need to purchase another one.
Set all waypoint markers before drinking the potion to avoid wasting any of the 10-minute buff duration.
