There are two types of books about Zen: those written by scholars (Watts, DT Suzuki, et al) and those written by teachers.
If you want the real thing, go for the books written by teachers. Among these, classic books are:
- Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind (Suzuki Roshi)
- Dropping Ashes on the Buddha (Zen Master Seung Sahn)
- Taking the Path of Zen (Robert Aitken Roshi)
Links below. Doubt if these are readily available for free, but all are available as inexpensive used books.

Save your money and buy a copy of Phillip Kapleau's "Three Pillars of Zen." A solid explanation for Western readers.
