Reading XML file in C#

a portion of an xml file:

 <publisher>
    <name>ABC</name>
    <id>943</id>
    </publisher>

c#:

           publisher = n.SelectSingleNode(".//publisher").InnerText;
            Console.WriteLine(publisher + "\n");

The c# program reads text off an xml file. The problem I'm having is that the publisher will have a string value of ABC943. Is there a way to just return the string value ABC?
