Please note - I am not endorsing these books or any particular approach in them. However I am reading them and finding them interesting, informative and potentially useful. Most are available in Amazon's) Kindle as well. This section is a work in progress - please check it out from time to time!
I wish I had some of the information here years ago when my osteoporosis was taking a scary downward turn and before I started Prolia.
1. Dr. Lani's No-Nonsense Bone Health Guide by Lani Simson, DC, CCD, forward by Claude D. Arnaud, MD, FACE. (c) 2014. Paperback, 320 pp. In paperback at Amazon for $13.24.

This book explains many of the tests your doctor may be doing and also has information about the various treatment approaches to osteoporosis. In general the author prefers natural approaches to pharmaceutical treatment. In general contains a lot of information about various medical approaches to osteoporosis; information that I did not have years ago when dealing with osteoporosis and starting Prolia. If I'd had it I think I would have been much more aggressive in pursuing non Rx approaches.
2. Your Bones by Lara Pizzorno, M.A., L.M.T., with forward by Jonathan V. Wright, M.D.
(c) 2013, 496 pp. In paperback at Amazon for $12.00.
https://www.amazon.com/Your-Bones-Prevent-Osteoporosis-Life_Naturally/dp/160766013X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1543456938&sr=8-1&keywords=your+bones+by+lara+pizzorno
Like Dr. Lani, Ms. Pizzorno takes a more natural approach to osteoporosis. Dr. Wright is a leading advocate of alternative healing modalities and Ms. Pizzorno cites her own experience here. However in nearly 500 pages she covers a lot of ground and offers a lot of information about bones, treatment options, etc.
Both of the above books offer their sources that you might find online, and both certainly offer ideas that you could discuss with your own medical advisor. Consider buying the Kindle versions to facilitate checking for online references. (Not all references are online but some are and this is a convenient way to find them.)
3. I would be remiss not to mention Susan Brown's book Better Bones, Better Body, published in 2000. It's a bit out of date now in terms of discussing some of the newer treatment options, but Dr. Brown still has much to offer.
In paperback at Amazon for $15.75 Not available as a Kindle book. https://www.amazon.com/Better-Bones-Body-Estrogen-Calcium/dp/0658002899/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1543457329&sr=8-1&keywords=susan+brown+better+bones
Dr. Brown has a diverse background and offers information and services relating to osteoporosis.

4. Books on Exercise by Margaret Martin of Melioguide at Amazon:
a. Exercise for Better Bones: (2015) $15 in paperback at Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0991912543/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?psc=1
b. Yoga for Better Bones: (2016) $15 in paperback at Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0991912578/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?psc=1
These books are important because exercise plays a big role in bone strength, and and can be helpful even post-menopause, but certain movements can damage fragile bones. Margaret Martin (of Melioguide) offers exercises that accentuate the positive and hopefully eliminate the negative. But here again, consult your own health care advisor before undertaking an exercise regimen.
5. The Complete Book of Bone Health by Diane L. Schneider, M.D. (2011). 491 pp. $15.00 in paperback at Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Book-Bone-Health/dp/1616144351/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=Complete+book+of+bone+health&qid=1552793802&s=gateway&sr=8-2
I have not had a chance to read through this encyclopedic work of nearly 500 pages yet, but at first glance it covers a LOT of ground briefly.
This book would be useful for learning the vocabulary of osteoporosis and for basic information about many different diagnostic procedures and medical treatments. The author is one of the co-founders of the website http://www.4bonehealth.org,
