The size of the directory means that it is published as a 2 CD set. The first CD contains the Almanac pages and the North Shields, South Shields, Jarrow and Sunderland sections. The second CD contains the Newcastle, Gateshead and Advertisement sections. The indexes to the various sections and to the advertisements are included on both CDs.

The original maps are printed on folded card which has resulted in some damage along the folds (especially the Newcastle map) and ridging to some pages which shows up as a shadow on the scans.
A number of the scanned pages appear not to be straight. This is a feature of the original book rather than the scanning process.
The contents include maps of: North Shields, South Shields, Sunderland, Newcastle and Gateshead.
