The 286-page hardcover book has a brown cover with the title in brown lettering at the top of the front. The title, author's name, and publisher's name are on the spine. The first part of the work concerns the office of the presidency, prosperity in 1920s America, and other administrative concerns of the period. Part two is about the Republican cadidate and how his election would further American prosperity and other developments that would benefit the country. There are no illustrations in the work, which concludes with a list of Hoover's accomplishments.
