I see.
Then I'd suggest a two-steps chain:
1) Extract all books in separate files by applying a simple splitting
stylesheet
2) Apply your output format transformation stylesheet to each of the
resulting files.
The advantage of such method is that you can apply any stylesheet
(notably PDF) to the resulting XML book files.
