Description: You're purchasing an autographed, hand signed hardcover California Governor's edition copy of Arnold Schwarzenegger's latest book, Be Useful. These were given out as special thank you gifts to longtime employees of his governor's administration staff at a reunion dinner in mid November. The book is accompanied by an autopenned thank you letter that was given to the employees. None of these copies have ever been publicly available for sale. Arnold boldly signed the bookplate with a black pen. The book and dust jacket are in immaculate condition. This is a first edition, first printing copy. The thank you letter has some handling wear but will be shipped to you in an archival acid-free plastic top loader. Arnold Schwarzenegger is an actor, author, businessman, filmmaker, former politician, and former professional bodybuilder. He was the 38th governor of California from 2003 until 2011. He was among Time Magazine's 100 most influential people in the world in 2004 and 2007. Hailing from Austria, he won the Mr. Universe title at the age of 20 and the Mr. Olympia title seven times. He's widely regarded as one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time and has written many articles and books on the subject. The Arnold Sports Festival is widely considered the second most important bodybuilding event after Mr. Olympia. He appeared in the 1977 bodybuilding documentary Pumping Iron. He was the chair of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports under the George H.W. Bush administration. He was elected governor of California in a special recall election to replace then governor Gray Davis. Schwarzenegger became a Hollywood legend in box office hits Conan the Barbarian, Conan the Destroyer, Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Commando, Predator, The Running Man, Twins, Total Recall, Kindergarten Cop, True Lies, Jingle All the Way, and more. He's also the former host of The Celebrity Apprentice.

This is accompanied by a full letter of authentication (LOA). The signature was graded a pristine 10. Beckett considers a signature graded a 10 to be a beautiful, boldly signed autograph that appears near perfect to the naked eye.
