Yeah the tome of secrets drops in inferno mode. I have a stack of about 40 right now. The problem is I can farm act1 inferno mode with maybe a few deaths here and there. But there's a huge.. huge jump in the type of gear quality you need to even consider taking on act2 as a barb.
Whereas say a demon hunter and sorc to a lesser degree can solo inferno up to act 3 if they're cautious/lucky. A barb, if i so much as look at a boss mob in act2 inferno wrong I go flying. Not to mention the mobs get enraged if you take too long beating them down. I've seen decked out demon hunters and life regen energy shield sorcs only manage to take down a particular boss mob to 50% hp when it got enraged and just started insta-killing everyone in the area and healed itself back to 100%.
I understand there's a challenge, but part of the draw of diablo2 was you could get your own gear if you played the end game enough. Right now the way its setup if you grind hell mode you get pretty terrible gear for the most part. I've been grinding act1 inferno with act2 inferno gear given to me by my brother who plays a wizard. But the gear that I get in act 1 inferno is nowhere near whats necessary for truly running act2. You cant even come close to the end game unless you auction house buy most of your gear.
The way it seems to be setup is you have to use gear from higher acts to beat the lower act, and the only two ways you could do that is by having someone in the higher acts to hand you down gear, or by spending millions in the auction house, or real money when it actually comes out.
