The books describe the structure of Hell, the magic, and the abilities of the devils and people serving them. It is quite close to what is canonical - at least, what was canonical back then. However, there is quite a bit of expansion. For example, there wasn't just one Fall, there were two. The first one was the one which created Hell... and sent a universe-sized serpent into a trillion year long coma. The second... that's your classic "fallen angels" plot.
