Pre-Order Book stuck in downloading, book not in yet

Question

I agreed to purchased a book on a pre-order basis.  Now when I go into my libray it is hung up trying to download this book that is not yet available.  I have tried fully shutting down the ipad, but no luck.  Also tried to buy a new book that is available, but that is not downloading and library is still hung up on the pre order book not yet available.
Any help would be appreciated!

Jeff,
Thanks for the reply.  However, the knowbase article referred to in iTunes Store: How to delete a downloading purchase on iOS  seems to refer to an earlier version of the iTunes app than I have with iOS 8.0.2.  My iTunes app has neither a More button in bottom nav bar, nor any options to display a Downloads list.
iBooks does display The Innovators book in its Books list, with a downloading icon (circle with pause button inside) showing status of this book.  The progress indicator in this icon (solid line progressing around the circle) is stuck at the very beginning of the download operation, and hangs there forever.  I cannot use the Select button to select this book (to move or delete it); the Select button displays a radio button in front of each item, allowing a group of books to be selected for a Move or Delete operation.  But The Innovators book's radio button cannot be toggled (presumably because the book is still downloading).
As I indicated in my original message, I can use iTunes on Mac to remove the book from the iPad as part of its Sync/Backup operations.  While this removal appears to work, the book reappears in the Books list on the iPad shortly after the Sync operation completes.  Again, I presume this is because the book still exists in the download list on the iPad.
Any other thoughts on how to proceed?
