The book consists of black & white photographs presented in two-per-page format, with each photograph being accompanied by an extensive caption, providing details about the location, train service and locomotive.
The book is divided into several chapters, each covering an area of the former Western Region. Areas covered include:

- East to Wrexham and Oswestry
- South from Oswestry through Mid-Wales
- The South Wales Main Line
- The Valleys
- The GWR Main Line
Photographs are mostly taken from throughout the 1950s and 1960s, with a few earlier scenes also included. An Illustrated Appreciation 5: Great Western Steam in Wales and The West Country provides a nostalgic look back at steam in Wales and the South West. Hardback. 136 pages.
