This is your bible. Study it, know it inside and out. This book covers everything you need to know about conventional survival scenarios. Whilst it does not cover the topic of zombies per se, it has vital information about field first aid, how to purify water, how to build traps, and how to build group morale. It is especially useful in siege scenarios, as it explains what needs to be done to survive for as long as possible with minimal supplies.
This was written in the times when the undead was considered a hollywood cashcow, yet Brooks recognised the need for such a book. He is a man far ahead of his times. It is filled with specific examples of zombie attacks in the past and how the living dealt with them. He quotes "solanuum" as the pathogen responsible for re-animation, yet how he arrived at this conclusion is not adequately explained. The scientific evidence quoted is dubious at best. But that isnt of concern; after all, this is not the time for theoreticall musings. It is worth its weight in gold due to its consice description of what to do and what to abstain from, specifically in an urban setting.
Whilst such books may be difficult to maintain (Brooks for instance strongly advises against going to places where people congregate like shopping centres, where most book stores are), i would say the information is crucial to your survival. Should that provide impossible i will post summaries in due time.
