This talent is seperatly calculated and can be taken any time (no need to wait).

Some more progress on this: i found 2 additional copies of this book ... one from a vase in homestead and one from a crate in the mine-temple ... it seems to be a random drop. It would be interessting to know what happens if you find more than 5 of these, so your perception stat would theoretically drop below zero.
