To add to what was already said:

It is easy to just install the oldest 2023 version (while it is still available). You don't even have to open it to copy the color books. After that you can deinstall that version.

In the Creative Cloud app select Apps > All Apps > Illustrator > click the 3 dots … next to the Open button > click Other Versions and select 27.0

Go the Illustrator 2023 Application folder > Presets > (your language folder) > Swatches > Color Books > and make a copy of PANTONE+ Solid Coated.acb and PANTONE+ Solid Uncoated.acb

Keep them in a safe place and copy them to the same location in the Illustrator 2024 application folder.

The Pantone + CMYK books have also now been removed apparently, so get those too if you need them.

What are those even good for?

Which book are you looking for?

Pantone libraries have been removed from Adobe software over the past year:

You can't find it, because it's no longer there. Pantone ended the license.

You can still install the oldest available version via the Creative Cloud. Grab the Pantone books from it. Keep them in a dry, secure place and away from system folders. Copy them into the correct place in your current Illutrator version.
