Auction Theory
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.

On the technical side but so so good. A classic ib auction theory. Covers all the standard auctions: English, Dutch, First / Second price and much more. The math is actually very comprehensible if you devote some time to it. As a bonus, a MASSIVE bonus, the appendix is fantastic. The second best appendix of any Econ book I’ve ever got my hands on. (best one being Mas-Collel)

I liked Monezes/Monteiro better though this is WAY more intuitive.
