"Although the book focuses squarely on auctions, it is likely to be helpful in courses dealing with information economics generally. A particular virtue of the book is the tangible, hands-on, approach taken to explaining the revelation principle...a very helpful collection of core results and techniques." - John Asker Economic Record
