The only book I can think of is "Footprints" by Douglas MacKinnon and Joseph Baldanza, published by Acropolis Books in 1989. The 12 men who walked on the Moon reflect on their flights, their lives, and the future.

"Moondust" by Andrew Smith involves interviews with 8 of the 9 surviving Moonwalkers. Neil Armstrong contributed by email. Jim Irwin, Alan Shepard and Pete Conrad were deceased. "A Man on the Moon" by Andy Chaikin is based on interviews with all 12 Moonwalkers and all other flown Apollo astronauts except Jack Swigert, who had died a couple of years before the research began. If there is a book with a more perfect involvement of the Apollo astronauts, I haven't heard of it. But I must add a massive word of praise for the "Apollo Lunar Surface Journal" which includes an absolute treasure-trove of interviews with all Moonwalkers except Alan Shepard and John Young.
