The book features a black pictorial card cover with stylized vertical lines and images of three Bizarre pattern ceramic pieces. The interior pages are profusely illustrated with colour plates showcasing various designs, including the Persian and Inspiration patterns, alongside monochrome archival photographs, pattern book reproductions, and period advertisements such as Delightful New Idea Baby Ware. The text is organised chronologically, with visible sections including Chapter Six 1931. Captions identify specific ceramic shapes and designs, such as spill vase shape number 194, an Inspiration floral design on a 362 shape vase, and an abstract Inspiration design on a 367 shape bowl.
