Michael Kay's XSLT 2.0 and XPath 2.0 (for XML, XSLT, and XPath) is some of the best money I've ever spent on XML-technology-related documentation -- it is a fantastic piece of work. Mulberry Technologies [1] have an assortment of print resources available on their website. Ken Holman's Practical Transformation with XSLT and XPath is another excellent reference [2]. Sal Mangano's XSLT Cookbook has come in handy for me at various times. Priscilla Walmsley's XQuery (for XQuery) is a very good introduction to the language. I'm not sure about a schema reference; the W3 may be a good place to start [3]. While it is not a book, Dmitri Novatchev's XSLT/XPath training course on Pluralsite is another absolutely excellent resource.
