Despite its name, the volume is more like a small encyclopedia in that each god's entry is one or two pages long. The Aztec gods are discussed first, followed by the Mayan. Additionally, gods are separated into sections based on type or purpose ("Creator Gods," "Gods of War," etc.). Small pictures of ancient artworks (unsourced) illustrate the information.
