Has anyone read this? I imagine it must be based on the various articles that he submitted to the Congress of Jewish Studies (One of them an analysis of the Aruch HaShulchans derashot - Kol Ben Levi - used to be available at lekket.com).
The author has also written a PH.D analysing several simmanim of Mishna Berurah - later released as a book "The method and meaning of the Mishna Berurah". Unfortunately I have not been able to obtain either of these books yet.

Dont go looking for them. They are not worth your time. VeACM"L di-berimizah.
If you are interested, look at the writings of Benny Brown (in Hebrew) and the footnotes cited therein.
I believe Prof. Sperber (at the beginning of one of his earlier Minhagei Yisrael books) is quite dismissive of the work on the Mishnah Berurah
Actually Prof. Brown cites Fishbanes work (in his book on the Chazon Ish) in his footnotes. Which of Browns books did you have in mind? (His masters was on the doctrine of Daas Torah or something like that)
whats the name of the book on the hazon ish?
