Jim Al-Khalili This book was the first time I had a really good look behind the iconic Einstein, the Einstein as an old man sticking his tongue out, holding his trousers up with a piece of cord. (Source)
Jim Baggott It’s a scientific biography, not necessarily about Einstein the person, although there’s a lot of personal stuff in it. (Source)
