The 24 page booklet has details of where Bishop came from, where he lived and worked and full details of his family. With background information making comparisons with other Leicestershire makers. Four additional pages of high quality colour pictures show seven of the clocks with views of dial and mechanism detail as described in the text.

The book tells the story of the search for information about a village clockmaker who, had he not engraved the dials with his name and village, would now be forgotten, like so many other former residents of Redmile.
