    Muscle books or memorabilia??

    Anyone collect old school books or memorabilia? How about just books or memorabilia?

    I just picked up Eugene sandows book the sandow system....it's written in 1894!! It's a cool book and I'm happy to add it to my collection.

    Some books I have or have had that I really like either for nostalgia or quality knowledge are.

    Arnold's encyclopedia
    Larry Scott's loaded guns(signed)
    Frank Zane's high def(signed)
    Eugene sandow system
    Nutrient timing
    Positions of flexion by Steve holeman

    Books I wanna add are more sandow books and more gironda books.

    I really love old school books. They fascinate me. I like the old pictures, drawings, way of writing. It's like stepping into a time machine.

    How about u guys? What do u have? Any favs?
    Blah blah blah Latina's ass...blah blah blah!

    I love to read, but never have the time to do so. Some of the good bodybuilding, weightlifting, and sports related books I currently have...

    Franco Columbu's bodybuilding & weightlifting for young adults
    Arnold's Encyclopedia (both)
    Dorian Yates (Blood & Guts and A Warrior's Story)
    Michael Jordan
    BIG Bodybuilding Instructional Guide
    Bigger muscles in 42 days
    My Hero Walks on Water - The Brian Dobson Story (my current read)

    I like all of the old pics as well and the black & whites. I like comparing all of the old with the new (Arnold's time vs. the big mass monsters we have now).
    “Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his brother.” (Proverbs 27:17) ...and borrowed from A L

    If he was competing today with today's drugs holy shit! I think he would blow away anyone! The tiny ass waist those old guys like Sergio and Arnold had was epic. No one today has that look anymore.

    A bout 20 years ago when the internet and Ebay was a new thing , the post office had this thing called Media rate ..they still do but at that time you could ship magazines for pennies a pound... I put in a bid for a collection of Flex and M&F magazines going back to the 70's for like $25 I won and even with shipping it was about 10 cents a copy. arrived in a couple of Xerox boxes .For some reason it wouldn't fit in my po office box ..I began filling in the blanks ( again for pennies on the dollar ) and eventually at one point I beleive that I have ever issue of Flex magazine ever publish in the US .. and probably every M&F since 1978 .. I stopped buying them a long time ago, but still have them in a closet downstairs in boxes
