 There is NOTHING NEW in this new book
When this book was first published in 1996 (see ISBN 978-1885254139) it was quite special, because so few things had been published in English on Adolf Loos. However in 2009 -- this is merely a marketing ploy .... same book, even the same OLD photos, now just more expensive. Since the 1996 publication .. the Müller house has been completely restored, and lots of new material has come to light. If you want this book ... buy a used copy of the original (ISBN noted above). otherwise check out the 2007 publication by SKIRA (ISBN: 978-8876246432).
