Two of the best books on the hisory of the Apollo and Saturn programs are available for relatively cheap from Dover. Stages To Saturn (NASA SP-4206)and Chariots For Apollo (NASA SP-4205) were both published abot thiorty years ago and have been a little difficult to come by in printed form, but now you can get them from Amazon.
Now, if they’d release the multi-volume “The Apollo Spacecraft: A Chronology…”

All four volumes of the Apollo Chronology are online:

Volume 1 is 136megs.
Online isn’t as much fun as in one’s hands.
The two best non-techie Apollo histories are, IMHO, “Apollo: The Race to the Moon” and “A Man on the Moon: The Voyages of the Apollo Astronauts”.
The first covers the behind the scenes struggles and mission control. The other is the astronaut view of the moon missions and was the basis for Tom Hanks “From the Earth to the Moon”.
