Following an introduction, this book is ordered chronologically, presenting five chapters that cover company history from 1936 into the 1990s. Chapter 6, or "The Wright Line," goes into detail about all the patterns L. G. Wright sold; the character, nature and frequency of their lines; and the card file which was meticulously kept on each of the molds used. Over 1800 pieces of glass are pictured, including color sheets from original salesmen's portfolios. The volume is well-illustrated with historical documents (letterhead, inventory sheets, etc.), and color pictures displaying everything from Cranberry Opalescent to Peach Blow. A general topic index is included in the back, and a 1997-98 value guide comes with the book.
