So to clarify, if I make a Pristine Blackened Iron Long Sword I would have to buy an EXTRACT? Then I would have a recipe to imbue the PBILS???
Yes, first you would make a pristine weapon and then in an additional combine you would imbue the weapon by combining it with the purchased extract to end up with an imbued weapon.

Do I have to Imbue immediately after I create or can ANY Pristine be Imbued?
No, you don't have to make a new weapon, (or a new anything else), you can imbue any pristine item that you have an imbue recipe for. In fact, you can even imbue an attuned item, (I've done it), and as a bonus, when you're done the item is no longer attuned! I guess they figured that the original item was attuned but the imbued version is no longer the original item!

I haven't seen the books for imbuing the items...
Where are they sold?
Check the NPC merchant in the trade skill instance when you are a member.

I also haven't seen any Extracts for sale on the bazaar... Are they that rare? Or are they being used as they're made?
They're uncommon but not
that rare! You probably just missed them... keep looking or better still, send mail to some of the alkys on your server and strike up a deal. You should be able to find someone who will make them for you and use the materials you've already found.
