You can use such a stylesheet :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
  <xsl:output method="html"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:value-of select="count(//department[item='book'])"/>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
