i have:

class BookAdmin(ModelAdmin):
    inlines = [ TextInline,]

class EventAdmin(ModelAdmin):

If the point is just to show data from Book you may add Book fields in EventAdmin with __ notation (if the two models have some kind of relation) or just define EventAdmin methods that fetches values from Book and add them as readonly_fields.

Something like this:

class EventAdmin(ModelAdmin):

    def book_texts(self, instance):
        out = ''
        for book in instance.books:
            for inline in book.your_other_replated_class:
                out += inline.value_to_print
        return out
    book_text.allow_tags = True

    readonly_fields = [book_texts]

Otherwise, if the point is to be able to submit the two forms together, I'll suggest to define a custom Form class and handle the submitted data in a View.
