I recommend three:
Pride Of The Yankees - Paul Gallico
Lou Gehrig, A Quiet Hero - Frank Graham
Lou Gehrig, The Lost Memoir - Alan Gaff
They are each very good, in my humble opinion. You can see my somewhat embellished copies here. I prefer books written by people who knew their subject personally as opposed to some later author's subjective interpretation, thus the first two. The Lost Memoir is newer, but while it does have a bio, it's main focus is a series of syndicated newspaper articles written by Lou Gehrig himself during the 1927 season.
