There are a lot of moon books out there in the market which provide information on the moon and its phases and cycles. The moon has been, since time immemorial an object of intrigue and mystery. There is something about the moon that is otherworldly and draws man towards it, as a result of which the moon has been the subject of a large number of stories, poems and books!
However, all moon books do provide some basic information about the moon, regarding the moon's orbit, the elliptical pathway that the moon follows around the earth every month or so. Since the pathway of the moon is not a perfect circle, but rather, an ellipse, the distance of the moon from the earth varies with its position in the orbit. Moreover, the largest and smallest distance of the moon from the earth varies with each passing year!
Exploration Books - Moon books cover a wide variety of topics from moon explorations to physical and academic theories about the moon. A very popular subject for moon books is the history of exploration of the moon.

It gives quite a detailed overview of the Apollo 11 experience, the selection of the team members, the rigorous training they had to undergo etc.
