Most of you probably already know about this book, but I've been
working on it for a couple of weeks, and it is really good. So excuse
me if I'm saying something everyone already knows:

How Apollo Flew to the Moon, by W. David Woods.

I recommend it highly.

So, tell us more about the book. What does it have that 1x10^9 other
books on Apollo don't?

If I might contribute here, I wrote the book to concentrate on the
technical aspects of an Apollo flight to the Moon. Most books
concentrate on the people, the politics and management, and there is a
reluctance to delve too far into the technical aspects. I tried to
reverse that. The book is rich in the detail of how the missions were
accomplished but I also used the transcripts of the crews to give it a
human aspect; to bring their humanity forward as they talk about the
experiences they had.

The book was derived from what I had learned while compiling the
Apollo Flight Journal.

I'm still working on it and I love getting into so many technical
details. That means I have to read slowly...
