I do use the Virtual Lunar Atlas on my laptop, for finding out the current terminator position which is very accurate and the ephemeris. Virtual Moon Atlas (glossary entry) Description A popular free program for displaying lunar features on an interactive globe, developed by Christian Legrand and Patrick Chevalley. I have just about all the atlases that others have listed and wouldn't do without any of them (plus some interesting long out of print books). I notice it's on Kindle, but believe me the Kindle version just won't do it justice, the book itself is well worth looking out for. There is a link below, and you can 'open' the book and take a look.

This is a lot less than most used copies, and I'd pay that if I didn't have a copy - and I had the money! I bought my copy at Astrofest when it first came out, there was a big stack of them on the Cambridge stand. This document contains a detailed interactive lunar atlas and photo maps of the moon (lunar photo map or mondkarten), as an alternative to the Hatfield Photographic Lunar Atlas and the atlas of the moon created by Antonn Rkl (Antonin Rukl, Antonna Rkla) plus maps of lunar craters, mountains, seas (maria), lakes (lacus), mountains (montes). Just checked on Amazon and the cheapest they have one listed used is £53. You will find inside even some planetary theory, lists of craters, lunar seas and much more. Long out of print it can be found second hand. The new book Moon Atlas for Visual Observer contains much more. I recommend this highly if you can get hold of a copy. It is a really superb book in the same format as the Cambridge books on Comets, Galaxies and the Messier Objects.
The first book on Maniek's post - The Fotographisher Mondatlas of which there are two pictures was translated by Storm Dunlop from the German and was published as The Cambridge Photographic Moon Atlas in around 2012 - not sure of the date.
