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.

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.

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.

Weedon's book is one of the best and completest collections in the world concerning dermatopathology.
it gives a good overview about nearly all possible skin diseases and show a lot of photos even of rare cases. Therefore one has to have if one works with skin pathology--sort of bible.
can be recommended to dermatologists as well as they are supposed to know histology a little bit for the diagnosis.
