The volumes cover individuals that young readers want to know most about, including entertainers, athletes, writers, illustrators, cartoonists, and political leaders. Each issue contains numerous sketches arranged alphabetically. Each entry provides at least one picture of the individual profiled, with additional information on birth, youth, early memories, education, first jobs, marriage and family, career highlights, memorable experiences, hobbies, honors, and awards. Each entry also ends with a list of easily accessible sources for further information on the individual and a current address. Obituary entries are included and are written to provide a perspective on the individuals entire career. Each issue concludes with a guide to the indexes, a name index, general index, places of birth index, and a birthday index (by month and day).
