5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent buy, January 7, 2002

This review is from: Skin Pathology, 1e (Hardcover)

This is, in my opinion THE BOOK for a pathologist dealing with dermatopathology. The writing is clear and crisp and I appreciate the morphologically-oriented classifications, instead of the more common admixture of ethiologic, morphologic and topographic attempts of classification, many of the categories meaning little to the morphologist.

5.0 out of 5 stars well worth the price, October 2, 2009

I bought the first edition as a resident and carried it with me everywhere. I bought 2 of the second edition- one for home and one for work. It never has even seen the bookshelf as I generally have it on my desk next to the microscope at all times. Yes, it really is that good.

5.0 out of 5 stars You can't work without it, May 29, 2008

This book is a must for every consultant in pathology. You can't evaluate skin biopsies without it. The book is big. It is expensive. But if you want to have a successful and satisfying life in Dermatopathology you have to buy this book.
