The book is illustrated not only with reproductions of numerous dustwrappers and interior illustrations from her books, but also photographs of the locations and helpful maps. The maps include not only accurate geographical maps by Peter Jolly but also, in full colour, the beautiful pictorial map of the locations which Edna Golder produced some years ago.
