The book is organized according to geography and dramatic tales of rescue and tragedy. Bachand includes a factual prelude to each lighthouse's narrative that outlines date, maker, cost, illuminating apparatus, and height where known. Extant and destroyed examples are illustrated in 153 black-and-white photographs.
