5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT REFERENCE BOOK, February 23, 2004
By A Customer
I have used this book throughout 2 years of medical school and it is one of the best dermatology references I have come across. It has also been a quick review for the the path seen with derm since the pictures are so clear and give a good representation of the path. An easy book to skim through before boards as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars WELL-RESEARCHED, WELL-DOCUMENTED, January 27, 2003
By reviewer (Zurich, Switzerland.) - See all my reviews
Shinning like a king's armour, the colours and synopses of this atlas made a thorough analysis of skin diseases.
Any medical student or practioner who needs a dermatological companion would find a reliable one in this atlas. The uncountable pictures, which featured in this new edition are both illustrative and descriptive. Everything about the book indicates sound research and documentation, (on the part of its authors). It is a superlative tool for both doctors and students: the type of book many people would like to keep as CD-ROMs.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Dermatology Reference!, February 15, 2001
By D. M. Huey "eyeguy" (Altus, OK United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a non-specialist health care provider, I continually see lesions of all types on peoples faces, and have always wanted an affordable dermatology reference to help me in assessing the risk associated with these lesions. This text is everything I wanted, and then some. The text provides excellent, detailed diagnostic/background information to accompany the wonderful full color pictures, and is organized according to the type of lesion and underlying etiology. At 1,040 pages, it appears to cover the most important and common skin conditions seen. I expect it to become an often used reference in my practice. This text will help me decide when to refer a patient for further evaluation. I wonder how such a great reference can be produced at this price, as most of my other texts are much more expensive. If you are looking for this type of text, I don't think you can lose with this one. The text I have reviewed is the fourth edition, copyright 2001.
