Quite good in reviewing the basic pathophysiology of endocrine disorders.
This book is becoming the standard for fellows in endocrinology.

This review is from: Principles and Practice of Endocrinology and Metabolism (Hardcover)

It's 2008 and I'm not aware of any new editions. I commend the combination of well structured, clinically relevant text with study questions. This version came out after I passed my first boards, and now it's time yet again. In my humble opinion questions really make learning more dynamic and immersive. I hope to see more projects along this direction.

Unfortunately the 2002 version is 6 years out, as of this writing. If you're studying for boards you may have to settle for ESAP.
