This book is a solid addition to a Pediatrician, Dermatologist or aspiring medical student's library. The pictures are detailed, and the accompanying text is nicely organized. The CD-ROM is a pleasant addition, as it has "slide-show" capabilities where you pick certain images to show. I use this function to teach residents and medical students. Overall, a great purchase!

I love this book. I consider it the best pediatric derm book for pediatricians. Hurwitz is more comprehensive and is probably better for dermatologists, but this is more accessible for pediatric primary care and the price is more palatable. For family physicians, the new edition of Habif may be better for its nice combination of adult and pediatric dermatology.

Five stars for the book, but no stars for the CD-ROM.

The installer for the Mac software has a date of creation of May 16, 1997. That's right, 1997.

So all of you using Mac OS 9 in your practice will be just delighted, I suppose, ... both of you.

If you run the installer anyway, it quits and coughs up a helpful message that the "Classic environment is no longer supported on this Mac."

If you use Windows, you might not care.

Caveat emptor.

Nice collection of clear photos and helpful in the office. Good to have on the shelf for reference.
