This second edition certainly has improved upon its predecessor. Its practical nature, clear photos, and comments following clinical cases provide practitioners with expert guidance as if the editor were physically present. Seldom does a book deliver what it promises; however, in this instance, it has and I feel it will become a standard for years. ----Weighted Numerical Score: 97 - 5 Stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful information, December 30, 2000

By	amy (norfolk, va) - See all my reviews

I believe this was a great book, it provided a lot of needed information on stds, the contraction of certain disease, etc. It was almost like a reference guide to me. It made me feel much better after i had gained all the needed knowledge. STD'S are one of those "quiet diseases", that nobody really talks about...However,you have to get your information from somewhere, right?....So why not get it from a reliable source with a huge layout of information.(even pictures) So, all in all i rate this book a 5, i doubt it could throughly describe std's any better then it did.

I read this wonderful book today and find it simple,easy to read,color illustrations are there with the text.I have read this book during my Genitourinary Examination and found it very useful,this is the main reason that I bought this book.I recommend this book to all the doctors related to genitourinary medicine,dermatologists and venereologist.It is also useful for the G.P's and medical students so that they can get a basic idea about the sexually transmitted diseases and their presentations. At the end I would like to congratulate Dr.H.Hunter Handsfield on writing such a wonderful book.
