This is a forum about XSLT, not DOM.
With XSLT you would use
Code:
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(Book)"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Ask DOM questions in the XML forum but mention which DOM implementation you want to use (e.g. W3C DOM (Level 2 or 3), MSXML DOM, .NET DOM).
