I think Cernan's Last Man On The Moon was excellent.

Of course, I did get him to autograph my copy at the event at KSC for the 30th anniversay of the Moon landing in 1999.  I also got to talk to him for about 30 minutes early that morning.  Showing up disgustingly early for events like that sometimes pay off <g>

I love his line (part of which he used in his autograph to me)

"Shoot for the Moon.  Even if you miss, you'll end up among the stars." 

I do want to get Mullane's book, though.  I heard him talk about it and it sounds fascinating.

I like Cernan's book, too. He wasn't acutally the LAST man on the moon, though. I believe Schmitt stepped off the surface last.

That says it all.
