'Readers may notice the higher profile of book reviews in this and the last issue of Australian Aboriginal Studies. They have approximately doubled in comparison with previous issues, reflecting in part the ever-increasing range as well as number of publications relevant to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander studies. It also reflects the hard work of the book review editors, Dr Tamsin Donaldson and Dr Graeme Ward . To assist readers, the titles reviewed are listed and classified by subject at the beginning of the Book Reviews section. Reinstated is the listing of books received and not yet reviewed. Inevitably, some books are never reviewed, either because a reviewer cannot be found for them, their content is not centrally Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander studies, or too much time has elapsed since they were published. In the current issue, we have initiated Book Notes in which the contents of books not reviewed are summarised.'  (Editorial introduction)
