5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive text., July 11, 2004

This review is from: Neoplasms with Follicular Differentiation (Ackerman's Histologic Diagnosis of Neoplastic Skin Diseases: A Method by Pattern Analysis) (Hardcover)

I wrote a very long review on this book for the American Journal of Dermatopathology in 2002 (Am J Dermatopathol 2002; 24:169-179). In brief, if you are interested at all in neoplasms of the hair follicle, this is the book to read. This is a great historical work that will set the groundwork for all future thought in this area of dermatopathology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential text for all dermatologists & dermpaths, April 5, 2000

This review is from: Neoplasms With Follicular Differentiation (Ackerman's Histologic Diagnosis of Neoplastic Skin Diseases : a Method By Pattern Analysis) (Hardcover)

I have a bookshelf of dermpath texts but keep Bernie's silver book on my desk. His writing is pithy and lucid. I prefer the format of this new edition to that of the "gold book" (edition 1) since all information on an entity is in one place. I recommend this text for residents and practising physicians.
