Baker Agreed to Purchase a Set of Books on Display

question 40

True/False

Baker agreed to purchase a set of books on display in Flack's Book Store. The price for the set was $300, and Baker gave Flack $150 to 'bind the bargain'. Flack delivered the books to Baker's home the next day, but Baker refused delivery, as he had found a similar set in another shop at a slightly lower price. Baker is entitled to a return of his $150, because the title to the goods had not passed.
