Girth Control by Alan Aragon is a great diet book so is anything by Lyle McDonald, Layne Norton, Brad Schoenfield, Tom venuto.

As for training, I have a few books in mind but they're not bodybuilding specific since I view typical BB style training to be an inferior form of training.

Aside from Arnold's book, you might check out some books by other Mr. Olympia winners. For example, Frank Zane and Lee Haney wrote some good books regarding training and nutrition.

Louie Simmons is a madman. Have you seen him in the movie Bigger, Stronger, Faster?
