This is an auction for NAVAL RECORDS FOR GENEALOGISTS by N A M Rodger.

“The naval records in the Public Record Office are invaluable to those tracing individuals who served in the Royal Navy, but the arrangement of the archives presents numerous difficulties. This guide, now revised, updated and illustrated, begins with a description of the structure of the ranks and ratings from the 17th to the 20th century, and establishes a classification of naval records which simplifies a baffling variety of terms. Details are also given on the Musters and Pay books kept by individual ships, an important type of service record for both ratings and officers. Intended for the more advanced researcher, this handbook is an invaluable companion for anyone with a serious interest in the social history of the Navy.”
