 "Houston, We've Had a Problem" is a NASA/Government Printing Office
 non-technical account of the Apollo 13 accident. It is about a ten
 page magazine-sized booklet.
 
 I only know of one other "book" about the accident, that being
 "13: The Flight That Failed". I think the author was Henry S.F. Cooper,
 but I can't swear to it.
