The book includes reviews of each of the ranked titles, top-ten lists on a variety of literary subjects, and lists from guest contributors such as the premiers of the Maritime Provinces and novelists such as David Adams Richards and Ami MacKay.
The book lists Alistair MacLeod’s No Great Mischief as the greatest Atlantic Canadian book of all time.

Four authors — Richards, Raymond Fraser, Wayne Johnston and Thomas Raddall — each had five books make the list.
