From books you find as random drops in the world (or from trading with another player).

You have to find a "style book" in the world (they are random rare drops in any random container). Once you learn a style, it unlocks that style for ALL crafting types.

In beta i got really lucky and found 2 style books on one character, so i had 3 styles.... but those were the only 2 style books I saw with hundreds of beta hours played.

In order to learn the other racial styles you will need to find or trade for the book containing that style. Then just read the book.

There are special books called "Motif" books. They are only found randomly throughout the game and eventually you will find some. I've heard that the Coldharbour region holds the best chances. Search everything you come across to increase your chances not only for those Motif books but for your provisioning materials as well as recipes. Another way is to deconstruct items by using the deconstruct tab in the crafting UI. Hope this helps you out a bit, Happy Hunting:)

If you're in a guild with a guild store, that's also a valid way of getting them.
