So far, 10 volumes have been produced. New volumes appear at roughly annual intervals, and the series is expected to be complete by approximately 2012.

Material in each volume is grouped first by family, with an introductory article on each family; this is followed by individual species accounts. In addition, all volumes except the first and second contain an essay on a particular ornithological theme.

Individual volumes are large (see image) and it has been commented in a review that "fork-lift truck book" would be a better title.

A list of volumes produced to date is as follows:
