In the old book, the Liber Bubonicus was a 40pt Enchanted Item that made your Plague Priest a lvl1 wizard who know Pestilent Breath (they weren't wizards, then).
It's a book that lets them do stuff with diseases. Pretty sure it's just a spellbook.
I'd be more interested in re-vamped Skaven Lores. Same thematic result, but more streamline.
Plague ought to have...I'd say 2 Direct Damage (Breath and Plagur), 2 Augments (Bless and something to make units tougher), and 3 Hexes (Wither, maybe something to mess with enemy movement and/or Initiative, and...maybe something Ld-based. Auto-panic or something).
That would give the Priests a little more to do.
To be fair, though, I run them on foot all the time. S6 is a really nice addition to Plague Monk units, as is a Censer.
