Using XeLaTeX and Book package.

I'd like to remove "part #" and "section #" from the \part and \section titles, thus keeping the part and section titles only. How can I accomplish this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

the class book has no leading section for \section. I suppose you mean "chapter". – Herbert Jun 6 '12 at 6:36
If you want that no sectional unit is numbered, then say \setcounter{secnumdepth}{-2} before \begin{document}. Otherwise, please state better your problem. Welcome to TeX.SX! – egreg Jun 6 '12 at 9:31

Confer the Wikibooks article on Section numbering:

“To get an unnumbered section heading which does not go into the Table of Contents, follow the command name with an asterisk before the opening curly brace: \subsection*{Introduction}. […] If you want the unnumbered section to be in the table of contents anyway, use the \addcontentsline command like this:

\section*{Introduction}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Introduction}

[…]”

For more info (PDF bookmarks for the unnumbered chapters, clearing the page after \chapters) please see the Wikibooks article.
