Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. I Bid You Farewell captures the drama, wit and wisdom of a lifetime in the antiques trade. Set against the backdrop of Suffolks market towns and quiet villages, Lanham charts an era of remarkable change in Britains auction houses, from the austere post-war years through the booming era of the 1980s.This is the story of a young auctioneer, starting at seventeen in a cattle market, qualifying and then buying a rundown rural auction business. Readers will discover how, from a standing start, with no telephone in his hired hall, Lanham achieved over a hundred world-wide record prices of fine art at auction. He explains the complex psychology of dealers and collectors and reveals the stories behind these extraordinary prices. Being on his own, using his personal observation, he was able to speedily change course to rapidly unfolding new markets caused firstly by Harold Wilson devaluing the pound and then Margaret Thatcher selling off the family silver. It is a true insight into the secrets of the auctioneers mind. Written as an amusing whole-life adventure of numerous stories, it shares much knowledge, wisdom and humour.Rich in character and incident, with an insiders eye for detail and a storytellers gift for bringing the past to life, Lanham shares the secrets of the trade while documenting a vanishing world of traditional market towns and autonomous local businesses. I Bid You Farewell is not just the story of one mans career its a love letter to the art of the auction and a valuable historical document of Britains antiques trade during a period of unprecedented change.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. For over twenty years, one man quietly shaped results up and down the English Football League - and almost nobody knew his name.Neil Lanham was the analyst working behind the scenes: the man managers like Dave Bassett, Graham Taylor, Steve Coppell, Jack Charlton, John Docherty and John Beck turned to when promotion or survival was on the line. Between 1980 and 2000, his methods played a part in eight promotions and relegation escapes - a strike rate no player, manager or coach can touch.Winning with the Invisible Laws of Chance finally lifts the lid on how he did it. Published here in full for the first time, this is the system Lanham built to exploit the "invisible laws of chance" that govern football results - decades before expected-goals models and data analysts became part of the modern game.Packed with sharp, funny, warts-and-all stories from the dressing rooms and boardrooms of English football, this is more than a coaching manual; it's a rare, entertaining glimpse inside the sport from the man who helped to change how the game was played. Essential reading for anyone who wants to know what really wins football matches. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
