Information on Paul Abeln's new book?

Do you have any information on the new book called "William Dean Howells and the Ends of Realism" by Paul Abeln ?


A: Various online bookstores list this as being published by Routledge in January 2005, ISBN 0415970962, for $70.00.

Update from Paul Abeln:

The book is available now through Routledge...but given the steep price, I'd recommend a library order/checkout (it's relatively short). It is part of a dissertation series and is a condensed version of the dissertation manuscript (2000) of the same name also available on loan or from UMI.
