Macarthur, Antonia. 
His Majesty's Bark Endeavour. The story of the ship and her people.
Angus & Robertson.
1997. 
ISBN 0-207-19180-8.

This book describes the background to the voyage and what happened during it. Unusually it contains a ship's crew list that has biographical details of the men, and a list of the nine Endeavour journals (none by Cook) held in the Public Records Office at Kew, London. 86 pages with 73 illustrations: the familiar, the unusual; photos of the replica and specially drawn sketches. I have read many books, but I still learnt something new!
