I am too afraid of virus to open a word document. And I do not have Microsoft office, but Libre Office and maybe that cannot read it in anyway.

Can you please attach a picture, or much quicker: just tell us the line number in code above where the error happens.

I can't see the bookList object and the MainMenu, but the error says that the "thing" alias "new Book(...)" you have passed into the add() method in "MainMenu.bookList.add(thing)" is not of the correct type. To see the correct type, I need to see the definition of the "bookList" object. Can you please list it? I strongly suspect that you have given a type there which is not a superclass of "Book".
