How do you do a slide from D on the A string to a G on an E string.

Play the D on the E string

That can work too, but I'm playing the way the book showed. Also, the book showed a line with G on the E string slide up to G on the D string. That got me even more confuse.

Hmm..."the book" you are refering to - does it have tablature or standard notation? More often than not, the tablature turns out written wrong, and determines which string to use wrong. Just use your common sense, if the book doesn't tell you to do something in a very specific way (maybe for the use a special technique) then always play where its most comfortable - and in your case possible. You can't really slide from a D on the A string to a G on the E string.

Something like this:

G--------------
D-----5---------
A--------------
E---3/-----------
?
To me, that means slide up as far as you want/need, then hit the G on D. That could also be the case in the first example. Slide from D to the first fret on A then hit the G on E.
Maybe?

That sounds right to me.

So you're playing from a tab? That explains the problem - if you took this to standard notation and then handed it to someone, don't you think they'd play it as I said?
