Lunar Rover Manual: 1971-1972 (Apollo 15-17; LRV1-3 & 1G Trainer) by Riley, Christopher. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780857332677.

From the popular Haynes Owners Workshop Manual space series, which includes NASA Apollo 11 Manual and NASA Space Shuttle Manual, this unique book provides an insight into the only car ever built to be driven on the surface of another world. With a Foreword by the first Apollo astronaut to drive it on the Moon, Dave Scott, and published to coincide with the 40th anniversary of mankind’s final drive on the Moon in December 2012. The book is part mechanical guide, illustrated with many of the technical drawings from the time, and part narrative-driven story of engineering ingenuity and human triumph. It draws on the rich NASA photographic archive and the complete transcripts of the crews reaction to driving across the Moon, which the authors have an un-paralleled knowledge and experience of working with.
