About this product

Product Information

DAILY MAIL BOOK OF THE WEEK 'A sparkling memoir... My hope is that Philip Serrell will do for the antiques trade what James Herriot did for cow's bottoms, as his memoir contains every ingredient for similar popular success... Serrell is laugh-out-loud funny.' Roger Lewis, Daily Mail *** When Philip Serrell gave up teaching to become a professional auctioneer, he thought he was embarking on a sensible and safe career... a quiet life in the country with no surprises. How wrong he was. In What Am I Bid? he tells of life after the events he described in his previous memoirs, An Auctioneer's Lot and Sold to the Man with the Tin Leg, to bring his story up to date. From dodgy cars to fakes in the saleroom; angry livestock, mangled silverware and tortuous - not to mention muddy - experiences in local markets and farm sales, Philip has been there, done that and got the hoofprints on his suit to prove it.

  • Fun lots of laughs for all ages and family friendly

    I have long looked forward to another book of Philips experiences and adventures after previously laughing out loud with tears in my eyes from his previous tales. This book does not disappoint and like his other books can be shared with family both children and grandparents which in our case has brought a lot of sunshine and fun in our lives . I very much hope we do not have to wait long for another book

  • the story continues.....

    wonderful 3rd volume of Philip Serrell's momoirs. I've said it before and I'll say it again, they'd make a wonderfully gentle sitcom/drama in the style of "all creatures great and small" or "darling buds of may".
