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

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.'

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.

This unique auction catalogue extends the scope of documentation study and activity beyond Indian modern and contemporary art.

Smith tells how the straight capitalist economic law of supply and demand rarely governs the auction process, and how the beliefs and actions of the auction participants determine values.

Through accessible, detailed examinations of themes central to auction theory, Vijay Krishna explores auctions and competitive bidding as games of incomplete information. His results on bidding strategies, efficiency, and revenue maximization, and his clear proofs for each proposition, make this book both the standard reference on auctions and the first source of authoritative information about multi-unit auctions. Well organized and featuring straightforward intuition, Auction Theory's depth and breadth lay bare the complexity and utility of this growing field.
