A very interesting book, written by Frank O'Brien and published by Springer, The Apollo Guidance Computer: Architecture and Operation, is definitely worth the read. Fun fact: The unit weighed 70lbs (32kg).
The AGC has spawned a pretty active cult of hardware hackers that have built the AGC from scratch - including the core memory.
