Creates a book object, serializes it, deserializes it and then prints
out to test that the serialization did work.
// create a Book object

Book booknew = null;
// serialize the Book
try {

ObjectOutputStream so = new ObjectOutputStream(fo);
so.writeObject(bookorg);
so.flush();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
System.exit(1);
}
// deserialize the Book

}catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
