A book cover featuring an orange-red on the left two-thirds of the cover with a prototypical 1950s image of a white American nuclear family. The adult man is wearing a suit, the adult woman a dress. They stand behind a pair of children. The older girl child is wearing a dress with an A-line skirt and a collar. She holds hands with the younger boy child wearing slacks and a shirt. All of them are looking toward the same distant object. The text above them reads, "Complete easy-to-read guide for every home, office, and factory." The text at the top right of the cover is on top of thin orange-red stripes and reads in black, "If there's atomic warfare this book may save your life!" The title, "How to Survive an Atomic Bomb" is in italicized, large font. A grey stripe runs horizontally beneath that with the author's name, Richard Gerstell, Consultant, Civil Defense Office.
