In terms of books with errors, I saw a few in this book by Piers Bizony, as reviewed below

In one chapter he describes a solar sail as using the solar wind (photons actually). The fluorine is actually a worse oxidizer than oxygen. Nedelin was not a launch director, and kerosene can burn with hydrogen peroxide, resulting in storable non-hypergolic, non-cryogenic propellants like the Beal rockets were to have used. Other than the minor quibbles, it is a good book for young people.
