It doesn't matter where you put this template, because the default priority for a name pattern like 'book' is higher than for qualified patterns like 'book[@...]'. But rather than rely on default priorities, a nice trick I saw somewhere else (in schematron?) is to give this template a priority of -1. You are then guaranteed it will not be chosen in preference to anything else, whatever the style of pattern.
