Muscletown USA is very good.

Another good book is Gorilla Suit by Bob Paris

confessions of an unlikely bodtbuilder is also good if you want an outsider who became an inciders perspective.

I can attach a pic, and even biographical information, to your name in the database. But results are added by contest, not by individual. That is I need complete results.

Rick Waynes "Muscle Wars" is quite an entertaining read, although he was never one to let the facts get in the way of a good story.

Dick Tyler's 'West Coast Bodybuilding Scene:The Golden Era' should also be in any collection, along with Dave Draper's 'Brother Iron, Sister Steel'.

LOL. In the bottom right corner, it notes that this premiere issue of Muscle Mag is bound to be a 'collector's item' so 'Why not buy it?' Another BB'ing claim is belied.

they might be on e-bay but there probably long since out of print. more of rick wayn's writing check out the three more reps series there were three books now condensed into one book , i'm pretty sure that should still be available.
