Getting attribute using XPath

How could I get the value of lang (where lang=eng in book title), for the first element?

Use:

/*/book[1]/title/@lang

This means:

Select the lang attribute of the title element that is a child of the first book child of the top element of the XML document.

To get just the string value of this attribute use the standard XPath function string():

string(/*/book[1]/title/@lang)
