It is most likely not in an authors best interest to not create a book after being paid for it, but it is certainly possible that a book had been delivered. Perhaps it was 300 pages of meaningless garbage for which the author was advanced 10,000 dollars, it happens all the time i.e most bestsellers.

At any rate, a book is a book.
