Depends on your goals. If you like to prance around sporting a fake
tan, oiled and semi naked for sugar daddies, this will do:
http://www.mesomorphosis.com/store/b...lics-2006.html

On the other hand, if you are not into beauty contests, it´s *very*
difficult to beat Rippetoe's 'Starting Strength', here:
http://www.amazon.com/Starting-Stren.../dp/0976805405


Best of luck.

Pavel Tsatsouline's "Power To The People!" which focuses on techniques
for increasing strength and includes a simple, two-lift strength
training program. http://www.kbnj.com/ptp.htm for more.

Go natural at first (at least) with Lou Ravelle's _Bodybuilding for
Everyone_:

Fred Hatfield's _Powerlifting: A Scientific Approach_:

I don't really know what you are looking for in a book. You will have
to look to the others for Bodybuilding specific stuff. This one
though covers how to do all the exercises:
http://www.maran.com/weight_training.htm

It is full color and shows pictures of start and finish. There are
color diagrams showing which muscles get worked. A note section what
to do and not to do. And an extra section on how to make it more
difficult. I have used it quite a bit since I started for designing
routines.

You will need other books routines and muscle building specific
information. I just figure knowing how to do the exercises correctly
is a good start.

Perhaps you'd like to suggest an alternative if that's the case.

The "experts" never make their own suggestions. They just say what
shit someone else is suggesting.
