If any article or any book caused any damages to the reader he can sue on the writer and publisher, he can claim damages.
Before initiating any legal action against them carefully go thru., the writers view and publishers statement regarding this.

Mr. Pratik,

Please note that in the first instance, there must be a privity of contract between the person giving advise and taking advise. I dont think you can simply sue a person if you sustain any loss by following his advice written in a book. For example, in a magazine, I read that X company shares will be profiatble purchase and the price will go up by 25% in ten weeks. The prices, on the contrary may go down by 10%. I dont think you can sue him.

There is a vaccuum in respect of such things as of now.

Please not that this opinion is in the context of illustration mentioned by me and does not relate to any defamatory writings or other cases.

The second part of your question is not clear.
