Editorial Reviews

Review

"Overall, the photographs are quite good....The appendix is organized alphabetically by disease entity. At the top of each page is a one sentence summary of the disorder. I like the conciseness of the book....this book does provide a companion for those who like this format and deal with pediatric dermatology."--Doody's Review Service (Doody's )
