One of the premier clinical dermatology references since 1930, this classic text covers clinical presentation and therapy for a full range of common and rare skin diseases.

And, a new, consistent organization makes information even easier to find than ever before.

Review

REVIEW OF THE LAST EDITION -
"Renowned as an easy-to-read, single-volume text...perhaps the single greatest advantage of the text is how treatment sections clearly delineate first- and second-line therapies as well as alternatives."-Archives of Dermatology

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT NEW EDITION, July 17, 2006

This review is from: Andrews' Diseases of the Skin: Clinical Dermatology, 10e (James, Andrew's Disease of the Skin) (Hardcover)

Forget the hype about Bolognia, this is the best book on clinical dermatology out there today. Written by three of the top clinical dermatologists in the country, there is a unity of writing and approach and and a consistent high quality level that you don't get with texts with hundreds of co-authors (many of whom are in training themselves). There is also a refreshing aspect that this book is written for practicing dermatologists and avoids much of the incomprehensibility of so-called academic dermatology texts. Andrews is much improved over the last edition with color photos and the input from Dirk Elston, one of the most prolific dermatogists in the country. This is the one book EVERY dermatologist should have on his desk.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Dermatology Text, June 15, 2007

This review is from: Andrews' Diseases of the Skin: Clinical Dermatology, 10e (James, Andrew's Disease of the Skin) (Hardcover)

This is a must have book for non-dermatologists and dermatologists alike. This text has replaced Habif as the traditional textbook for non-dermatologists, because of its concise straightforward approach to dermatology, making it easily understood by the non-dermatologist. For the dermatologist, it is simple to read, but not lacking in depth, such that it can serve as the main textbook for refreshing the information learned during residency without getting bogged down with useless minutia. I use this as the textbook of choice on a daily basis.

This review is from: Andrews' Diseases of the Skin: Clinical Dermatology, 10e (James, Andrew's Disease of the Skin) (Hardcover)

This is a must have for all dermatologists. This book is small in size, but massive in content. I have always said, "If it ain't in Andrews', it ain't worth knowing." and this is still true of this version. This edition has great color pictures (although I always thought that the B&W photos in the previous editions were so terrific that you could still "see" the color in them.). This is another book that you really shouldn't be without whether you are a resident or practicing dermatologist.
