var xml = XElement.Load("test.xml");
foreach (var bookEl in xml.Elements("book")){
Console.WriteLine("Genre:" + bookEl.Attribute("genre").Value
+ "" + "Publication: " + bookEl.Attribute("publicationdate").Value
+ "" + "ISBN: " + bookEl.Attribute("ISBN").Value);
Console.WriteLine("Title:" + bookEl.Element("title").Value);
Console.WriteLine("Author:" + bookEl.Element("author").Element("first-name").Value + " " + bookEl.Element("author").Element("last-name").Value);
Console.WriteLine("Price:" + bookEl.Element("price").Value);
}
