Cheers,

You have markup between the book tags, value-of will not return that, just the plain text content. Consider coding it as
<alt>business</alt>
<src>images/business2.jpg</src>
businessimages/business2.jpg
still no image.
<xsl:element name="img">
<xsl:attribute name="src">
<xsl:value-of select="book"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="book"/>
</td>
try
<td>
<xsl:element name="img">
<xsl:attribute name="src">
<xsl:value-of select="src"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="alt">
<xsl:value-of select="alt"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
</td>
I wouldn't even try writing XSLT without one.
