The book is written by hand in ink. Entries have their titles in elaborate multicolored calligraphy. The book is written by the whole Ramboldi line, throughout the generations, and possibly by also very close friends. The book contains many illustrations, chiefly of Mal Witches and other magical creatures. Most of the book is in Basic, but some of it is in Elvish and Ancient Tongue.

The book's organization is haphazard at best. The sisters remarked on several occasions that they searched "the entire book" when looking for specific information. This suggests that the book's previous owners simply filled in the pages sequentially rather than arranging the contents topically.
