Question 1:

A Mr Lovebook informs Library Books that he wishes to buy one book "The Great Book" by Mr Bookwriter which is due to come out on 25 April 2009 at 11.00 am at the library. The price of the book is Rs500 and Mr Lovebook has already paid the purchase price. One condition of the sale is that the book would be delivered on the 25 April 2009.

On 26 April 2009 Library Books fails to deliver the book to Mr Lovebook. The latter sends a letter asking the library to deliver forthwith the book.

Library Books which has received the books in its store since 25 April 2009 only delivers the book 10 days after the 25 April 2009.

Advise Mr Lovebook.

Would your answer be different if Library Books had received the book on 01 May 2009 due to the fact that the ship responsible for delivering the books to it was caught up in a storm at sea?
