Apollo didn't just land men on the moon and return them safely, it inspired the entire planet!

Recently I stumbled across this book at Barnes and Noble about the Apollo Program, and I thought about getting it...

What did you like/not like about it? Was it worth the price? Or are there any other books out there that are better to get? Please let me know, and thanks in advance!
In Earl Swift's interesting book "Across the Airless Wilds" about the Lunar Rover he mentions that after Apollo 15's lift off from the lunar surface, the ground crew were able to remotely reactivate the rover's camera and were "panning around, zooming in and out, got a few more good pictures of the - the surrounding mountains, and suddenly we lost the TM [telemetry] downlink". The conversation that refers to this is recorded here. That link is the only reference that Earl Swift gives for this, and I cannot find another reference. Does anyone know if that 13 minutes of video is available to view anywhere?
