My predicament: I'm working long term in UAE (Abu Dhabi), and have finished reading all of the space related books I have with me. There are bookshops here, with books in English, but nothing on space/astronauts found yet. I have access to the web and a printer. Can you kind folks recommend anywhere on the internet I can find anything to print out and read?

Yes, things are getting that desperate. I have a two hour journey two and from work, and it flies by when I'm reading.

You can always start with the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal... That makes fascinating reading.

Just google ".pdf NASA-SP" and you'll find most of NASA's Special Publication books as these have been scanned and put online. Yep, also all six Preliminary Science Reports of the Apollo missions! (SP-214, 235, 272, 289, 315 and 330).

Get the Amazon reading application for your web device and you can download many great books. I know the books cost money, but perhaps this is an alternative. Digital Apollo, How Apollo Flew to The Moon, The Apollo Guidance Computer (textbook), the classic Cox/Murray Apollo and Chariots for Apollo are all excellent and available in Kindle editions. There are many books available on the Space Shuttle and one I really enjoyed on the development of the Soviet Buran Shuttle. Good luck.
