5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, easy to read, easy to understand, inspiring
As a person recently diagnosed with Alopecia Universalis (all body), I found this book to be very informative, as well as easy to read and understand.

It helped me to understand that there are other people in the world with the same problem that I have.

I would strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about alopecia.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good overview
A really good overview for those newly diagnosed (or friends, family thereof). Provides sufficient information that an alopecia sufferer is unlikely to pursue quacky, expensive, ineffective treatments. Also includes psychological impacts of the condition. Skip the other books about Alopecia (I've read them all). This is the best there is.

I would strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about alopecia.

I understand through my dermatologist that Jerry Shapiro is THE person for North America when it comes to knowing about alopecia.

I hope it helps other people the way it has helped me.

4.0 out of 5 stars a very thorough "lay person's" textbook for dealing with AA, June 23, 1998
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a very informative book dealing with the many physical and psychological aspects of alopecia areata. Treatments are discussed as well as purchasing wigs, hats, etc. Having dealt with AA for almost 3 yrs. now, I found that there wasn't a lot of information that I didn't already know. However, the book has been helpful in helping friends and family learn more about AA.
