I read "Seven Days in the Art World" by Sarah Thornton earlier this year, which I now count among my favorite books. Thanks to Amazon.com's "frequently bought together" suggestions, I am now the proud owner of Don Thompson's "The $12 Million Stuffed Shark: The Curious Economics of Contemporary Art" which just arrived on my doorstep today. Hopefully this book will give me some good ammunition so that I can generate some sort of coherent response when a friend asks me why something with no intrinsic monetary value sells for obscene amounts at auction........
