Hi, Kanthi:

  This is much simpler than the grouping problems we
usually see.  All you need is matching up @id, the
following template should do the trick:
<xsl:template match="OuterTag">
  <xsl:for-each select="Books/Book">
    <xsl:variable name="bookid" select="@id"/>
    <xsl:text>Title: </xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="Title"/>
    <xsl:text>

    <xsl:text>Author: </xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="Author"/>
    <xsl:text>

    <xsl:text>Address: </xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="../../Addresses/Address[@id
= $bookid]/Street"/>
    <xsl:text>, </xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="../../Addresses/Address[@id
= $bookid]/Country"/>
    <xsl:text>

    <xsl:value-of
select="../../Publishers/Publisher[@id =
$bookid]/Name"/>
    <xsl:text>

  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

Hope this helps,
Xiaocun
