He’s a four-time Mr. Universe, seven-time Mr. Olympia. His films have grossed more than four billion dollars worldwide. He won the California governor’s race by a landslide. He has one of the most recognizable faces in the world, an oft-imitated accent, and a physique still heralded as the most perfect ever built. He’s Arnold, the one and only, with first name recognition worldwide, and now with a big brawny bio affordable by all.

The original Collector's Edition was a decade in the making, a photo tribute covering 70+ years of Schwarzenegger, from the future Terminator’s impoverished childhood in Thal, Austria, to his rise as a young athlete, his journey to America to become the most celebrated bodybuilder of all time, to his career as the world’s leading action film star, then into the California governor’s mansion and beyond.

Along the journey, Arnold’s muscular body, chiseled features, and charismatic personality made him a favorite subject of photographers, including  Annie Leibovitz, Robert Mapplethorpe, Herb Ritts, Sante D’Orazio, Francesco Scavullo, and Andy Warhol. This new edition, like the original, includes them all, as well as more intimate bodybuilding images, behind-the-scenes film stills, dozens of photos from Arnold’s personal archive, and exclusive interviews with Arnold and those who helped him to fame, including directors Ivan Reitman and Bob Rafelson, and bodybuilding legends Franco Columbu, Dave Draper, and Frank Zane.
