One of the better ones that I own is: Bodybuilding 101 Everything you need to know to get you body you want. Written by Robert Wolff. Available at Amazon.com

"Brawn", by Stuart McRobert. It is by far the best training book I have ever read.

Beyond Brawn is a great book. I don't recommend Arnold's book. It's not bad, but the training in there will leave you overtrained. His method is a little out dated. He recommends eating three big meals a day instead of 6 smaller ones. Three meals can work, but it's not as good as 6 smaller meals. It shows good info on bodybuilding history and on exercise form. I like the book but I would never follow his training routines.
