Now that the changes to the question appear to have quiesced, here is your XSD updated to eliminate the validation errors that you were receiving when validating the given XML document instance.

Fixed XSD:

Minor note: I added another form to the ISBN pattern to support the ISBN for the last book: 8-4322-62332-6. If this is not a valid ISBN format, you should eliminate the last |-clause in the pattern that I added (\d{1}-\d{4}-\d{5}-\d{1}) and instead fix the ISBN in the XML document instance.
