Barbara Outland and Ahnuld

I just ordered a paperback copy of _Arnold and Me: In the Shadow of the
Austrian Oak_ by Barbara Outland Baker. Ordered it through Barnes &
Noble, but am offering the Amazon link below as their website has more
bells and whistles as well as information on the book.

To wit, Whitney S. Christiansen offers, "In her memoir, Barbara Outland
Baker remembers her days as Arnold Schwarzenegger's first American
girlfriend in the turbulent late 60s and early 70s. They dated for six
years, and she explores both the happy and the not-so-happy times.
However, she never stoops to revenge. Instead, her memories of a young
Arnold are warm and touching. This Arnold is the insecure foreigner
whom most contemporary Americans either forgot or never knew. This is
the story of Arnold forging his career out of broken English and hours
of body-building. But this book is more than just another biography of
Arnold. Barbara's story is all her own. This is a story of a woman
struggling to learn who she is the in shadow of a Titan. This is the
story of a woman fighting to cast her own shadow. As such, she touches
a nerve in every young woman who has ever sacrificed herself for
someone she loved. Hers is a long and winding journey, and she took me
right along with her." From:

It was $15.34 with the club discount at www.bn.com and I got free
shipping as I ordered $25 or more in product (also got a new Stephen
King novel for $14 which was 50% off with an in-your-emailbox coupon).
