The High Frontier report is available from:

High Frontier

Washington, D.C. 20005

It costs $15.  The L-5 Society sells them as well as a lot of other
valuable space literature.  

Michener's SPACE:  I thought it was excellent.  The book describes
more of the WHY of space exploration and the Space Program then
the HOW.  For instance, you learn of the set of fortunate coincidences
that caused the Marshall Space Flight Center to get its name, and
what amazing results that name change had.  There are also (surprisingly)
quite a few ''inside'' references to science fiction.  I thought
it was easily worth the hardback price.
