Reviews for Auctions Law and Practice

`Review from previous edition ...the authoritative work on English auction law. ... Unlike many legal books it is accessible to the layman and covers most questions asked by buyers, sellers and auctioneers. ...this book should be the first port of call for commentary on the present position.' Antiques Trade Gazette 13/4/1996
