United States Ninth Circuit

A standard author agreement is not an -illusory- contract and was breached when the publisher conceded that the author-s manuscript was of high quality and decided not to publish solely for commercial reasons, rather than because of a defect in form and content; therefore the author is entitled to recover for the breach in quantum meruit.
