The Story Of The Space Shuttle
If you are interested in the Apollo program from an engineering standpoint, this book is for you. It is essentially a description of systems and operations for each step of the Apollo/Saturn stack.
Prior to reading this book I had read about the Saturn V in general, I knew about its propulsion system, the guidance, the gimbals, the fuel mix. But after reading this book, I was amazed by how much I did not know about it. The book goes through every detail of what happened to each stage, including things that went wrong and why. Things like how they made sure the fuel was kept "below" so bubbles wouldn't go into the turbopumps, etc.
It is a technical book but not overwhelming. The author goes to great lengths to explain things in layperson's terms.
If you are more interested in the Apollo/Saturn V than the average person, I cannot recommend this book enough.
