This book is not intended to be a complete history, but does represent a large slice of Lisa Land Cooper's research over the last six years.

The book includes a detailed index including names of people, places, streets, and businesses, the columns are arranged in chronological order, and 30 images are provided. Lisa Land Cooper states in the book's introduction, "At this point it was it was becoming a bit overwhelming for me to remember what I had published within the columns and what still "lived" within my notes, so I decided to publish the early columns with a detailed index, so I could have all of the early columns in one easy place to search. My work to find more pieces of the puzzle is ongoing."
