Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle - Tom Venuto
Good mix of dietary/athletic information about making your body into a lean, fat burning machine. Has a mix of topics: goal setting, body composition, commentary on 'diets', good/bad fat, water, eating plans, weights, cardio, etc.
He has a bunch of smaller books/articles on topics like: recipes, lists of good/bad foods, workout techniques, strategy, macronutrients, etc.
I suppose this is more of a lifestyle book than a body building book, as I the majority seems to be on diet with smaller section on fitness. Probably not useful for body builders already in the game.

Exercise - Practical Programming for Strength Training by Mark Rippetoe and Lon Kilgore
Nutrition - Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes. It's not a diet book but rather it's a scientific history of nutrition. It goes very in depth about how our current diet came to be and why many of our common beliefs about nutrition are so grossly incorrect.

^ the rippetoe book he suggested is a good one. Starting Strength by Rip too for a more fundamental/basic approach that concentrates on form.

The best diet book i've EVER read (and pretty much cured me of my anorexia in a way) is Intuitive eating. It's common sense info but at that time it was well needed guidance.
The best fitness book i've read is Getting Stronger. But I haven't read many, got all if not most of my info online. I used that info to lose 120 pounds though when I was 13.
