to be honest with you i've never read one book on bodybuilding other than arnold's encyclopedia of bodybuilding... and that mostly for entertainment. That said, I think the greatest amount of knowledge can be gleened of the forums here and at other places. That and pubmed once you learn to use it.

If you feel you need to buy a book I'd buy a book that deals with exercise nutrition. I know one good one is Nutrition in Exercise & Sport which Dr. Layman (professor I work under) helped edit... but it is more of a biochemical book and won't give you the cookie cutter meal plan stuff... but you will learn much more from it.

Chris's stuff is ok for the basics. He tends to be a bit of a cookie cutter when it comes to diets and he is a bit overzealous on supplements... but probably a good buy for beginners.

Chris Aceto's instruction book for bodybuilding? I recently got it from a fellow body builder and others said it was a great book. What are your thoughts on it?
