I do not know in detail how the law works in the US but can you not stop the publication by getting an injunction to stop it until you have resolved if it is copyright infringement or some other problem? So it seems kind of a lottery to show the book beforehand because even if you are sure that it is not infringement you cannot know for sure what a judge would do.
