Problem 91

Guy Baldwin was a successful author who decided to self-publish his latest book and market it directly to retailers. He received an order for 200 copies from Cowskin Book Chain, and he shipped off the books immediately, along with an invoice for their price.

What can he do?

Suppose that two weeks before he shipped the books, Cowskin had sent him a letter lying about its financial condition; now how long does hehave to make his reclamation demand?

If he gets the books back, can he sue Cowskin for the wasted shipping costs?
