Abstract/Notes Objective: To present reviews of publications released during 2006 that are considered relevant to the practise and profession of chiropractic, and to gather these by cognate themes.

Discussion: A total of 28 works are included in this review paper. Books of note include the second edition of Rehabilitation of the spine by Craig Liebenson, a first edition of a similar multi-discipline text by Craig Morris (Low back syndromes, integrated clinical management) and a new book for patient education by Meridel Gatterman (Chiropractic, health promotion and wellness) that signals a shift of the chiropractic discipline towards wellness care. A new section has been added called Parallel Universe; here are reviews on an authoritative book about Acupuncture and a fascinating new book on Ayurvedic Medicine.

Conclusion: As in previous years the inescapable conclusion is that chiropractors continue to be sustained by high quality texts that provide strong support for many aspects of professional practice. A noted feature of many new books is the inclusion of electronic content, either as a CD-ROM or a DVD.
