Lam Esen's Tome can always be found within the Ruined Temple in the Kurast Bazaar. It will not be found in any other dungeon, so the player has the option to skip exploring the other temples. The Tome is guarded by a Super Unique Flesh Hunter boss called Battlemaid Sarina. On the Automap, it should become pretty easily seen soon after entering the temple.

The Ruined Temple is a dungeon found in the Kurast Bazaar, Act III, Diablo II. Lam Esen's Tome can be found inside.
It is the only of the abandoned temples in Kurast to come in three different variations: all others only have two.
Finishing this quest will require a bit of back-tracking. When you enter Kurast for the first time, you can go talk to Alkor. He will ask you to search the six tombs in Upper Kurast, the Bazaar, and the Causeway. Fortunately, we know that you only need to go into the Ruined Temple which is in the Bazaar. Inside, you’ll eventually meet up with Battlemaid Sarina. It’s recommended to clear everything else out before taking her on as you don’t want to be overwhelmed. That said, if you’ve dealt with everything Quest 3 had to offer, you should be fine.
