As per the information you have provided, if you have the messages of him agreeing to pay you the amount once he gets the books then you can file a suit for specific performance. FIR is generally not filed in such types of cases. You can directly file a suit for non performance against the other person.

You need to file a criminal complaint at the police station in Allahabad and if the complaint is not registered go to the magistrate under crpc 200 and register you complaint , this person will be booked for cheating, and will have to pay your money. Hoping you have his residential address.
