This is an auction for THE NEW GROVE DICTIONARY OF MUSIC & MUSICIANS.

In ten volumes, edited by Eric Blom.

From Wikipedia:

"Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians is an encyclopaedic dictionary of music and musicians. It is one of the largest reference works on Western music. Originally published under the title A Dictionary of Music and Musicians, and later as Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians, it has gone through several editions since the 19th century and is widely used... A Dictionary of Music and Musicians was first published in four volumes (1879, 1880, 1883, 1889) edited by George Grove with an Appendix edited by J. A. Fuller Maitland in the fourth volume... The fifth edition (Grove V), in nine volumes, was edited by Eric Blom and published in 1954. This was the most thoroughgoing revision of the work since its inception, with many articles rewritten in a more modern style and a large number of entirely new articles. Many of the articles were written by Blom personally, or translated by him..."
