This is an excellent comprehensive and beautifully illustrated pediatric dermatology tome. As such, it should be particularly useful to specialists in this area. As for value to the primary care provider, it may be a bit much. I like to maintain a library of various pediatric subspecialty texts in addition to the standard Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics. Given so many areas to cover, I like to keep these in a price range not much north of $100, and preferably under that. So, while this is a superb text, my preference as a primary care provider is for Weston's Color Textbook of Pediatric Dermatology. It is organized well, illustrated nicely, and priced better. It is also sufficient for all primary care needs. If it's not in there, it merits a dermatology referral.

Prior to getting this book I was very partial to the Illustrated Manual of Pediatric Dermatology (Mallory). I now have a new favorite for dermatology. For a reasonable price ($200) you get good pictures and a pretty good starting point for treatment of various diseases. If you can only get 1 peds derm book I would go with this one.

This edition far supercedes prior editions including pictorials & access to the web.I have always been a fan of Sid Hurwitz and had the great fortune to meet him and hear him lecture.I am sure if Dr. Hurwitz were here with us now he would be very proud of this work.
