Todd and his grandfather prepare for the sale of the farm and its contents by telling stories about life there and making scarecrows

With great wit, fearless irreverance, and a shrewd insider's knowledge of the auction game in all its infinite variations, America's most famous auctioneer-Charles Hamilton-guides you through the boobly traps and mine fields of bidding at auctions. Naming names and revealing all the ploys and sharp practices of the world's great auction houses, Mr. Hamilton, the maverick of the auction world, strips away the pretensions and mystique of bidders and auctioneers so that you can make a sane, sensible, and often succesful bid for the object you want. You'll never be awed, intimidated, or euchred at an auction again after you read Mr. Hamilton's time-tested words of advice in such chapters as: Bidder's Fever, The Elegant Hucksters, Tricks from the Podium, The Phatom Bidders, The thrills Of Auction Bidding, How To Control The Auctioneer: 13 Rules For Bidding, A Blueprint For the Future of Auctions, A Glance at New York's Auction Galleries. Packed with sizzling (and often hilarious) accounts of his most sensational and bizarre auctions, Mr. Hamilton has written a book for both the first-timer too timid to raise a hand to bid, and for the seasoned auctiongoer eager to know more about the incureable disease called Auction Madness.

Long the preferred method of exchange for antiques and horseflesh, auctions are used today to sell everything from bestselling books to real estate, government bonds to abandoned automobiles. As sociologist Charles Smith reveals, the mechanical law of supply and demand rarely governs the auction process. Rather value is determined by a complex social process combining both the beliefs and actions of the auction participants and the assumptions and practices on the auction floor. Based on years of participation in and observation of different types of auctions and interviews with hundreds of auctioneers, Smith gives us not only a theoretical understanding of the auction process but the sights and sounds as well.

The Auction Sale relates a sensitive and subtle evocation of country life in the late 1930s. The friendship between Alice Elton and Mrs. Durrant, the latter's sad love affair and the appreciation of fleeting beauty pervade. Such melancholy themes are set in contrast to the auction sale, which Kitchin brings to life through incisive and humorous depiction. First published in 1949, Lord David Cecil described the novel as 'an admirably shaped, delicately finished work of art, reflecting a deeply interesting vision of human life.'

Narrative by a Civil War historian and seasoned writer is intermingled with abundant illustrations (mostly b&w historical photos) in an attractively produced volume. It begins with a history of slavery from its European origins to establishment in the New World, then documents the successive phases and various aspects of African American involvement in the war effort. Of special note is coverage of black Confederates, whose story is often neglected in histories of the Civil War. Oversize: 10x10.5<"> Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Governments use them to sell everything from oilfields to pollution permits, and to privatize companies; consumers rely on them to buy baseball tickets and hotel rooms, and economic theorists employ them to explain booms and busts. Auctions make up many of the world's most important markets; and this book describes how auction theory has also become an invaluable tool for understanding economics. Auctions: Theory and Practice provides a non-technical introduction to auction theory, and emphasises its practical application. Although there are many extremely successful auction markets, there have also been some notable fiascos, and Klemperer provides many examples. He discusses the successes and failures of the one-hundred-billion dollar "third-generation" mobile-phone license auctions; he, jointly with Ken Binmore, designed the first of these. Klemperer also demonstrates the surprising power of auction theory to explain seemingly unconnected issues such as the intensity of different forms of industrial competition, the costs of litigation, and even stock trading 'frenzies' and financial crashes. Engagingly written, the book makes the subject exciting not only to economics students but to anyone interested in auctions and their role in economics.

Providing a comprehensive introduction to modern auction theory and its important new applications, this book is written by a leading economic theorist whose suggestions guided the creation of the new spectrum auction designs. Aimed at graduate students and professionals in economics, the volume provides the most up-to-date analysis of traditional theories of "optimal auctions" as well as newer theories of multi-unit auctions and package auctions, and shows by example how these theories are used. It explores the limitations of prominent older designs, such as the Vickrey auction design, and evaluates the practical responses to those limitations.
