Each section is personally introduced by the author; the vignettes, or intimate views are short and can be read as separate stories unto themselves. Vignettes has eight sections: Historical Overview, arranged chronologically; Prominent Grand Bankers from our Recent Past; Ships and the Men who Sailed Them; Soccer; Landmarks; Local Tales and Trivia; Odds and Ends; and Looking Back. There's twelve appendices listing everything you'd want to know about this historic town.
