REVIEW OF THE LAST EDITION -
"Renowned as an easy-to-read, single-volume text...perhaps the single greatest advantage of the text is how treatment sections clearly delineate first- and second-line therapies as well as alternatives."-Archives of Dermatology

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT NEW EDITION, July 17, 2006

By	Anonymous - See all my reviews

Forget the hype about Bolognia, this is the best book on clinical dermatology out there today. Written by three of the top clinical dermatologists in the country, there is a unity of writing and approach and and a consistent high quality level that you don't get with texts with hundreds of co-authors (many of whom are in training themselves). There is also a refreshing aspect that this book is written for practicing dermatologists and avoids much of the incomprehensibility of so-called academic dermatology texts. Andrews is much improved over the last edition with color photos and the input from Dirk Elston, one of the most prolific dermatogists in the country. This is the one book EVERY dermatologist should have on his desk.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Dermatology Text, June 15, 2007

By	Syed O. Ali - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a must have book for non-dermatologists and dermatologists alike. This text has replaced Habif as the traditional textbook for non-dermatologists, because of its concise straightforward approach to dermatology, making it easily understood by the non-dermatologist. For the dermatologist, it is simple to read, but not lacking in depth, such that it can serve as the main textbook for refreshing the information learned during residency without getting bogged down with useless minutia. I use this as the textbook of choice on a daily basis.

4.0 out of 5 stars alex em dept, November 9, 2006

By	V. Alessandro "ep doctor" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

one of the best dermo books i've read but.... a little gap: the work lacking a chapter concerning burn care. i think this items it's very important for a modern dermatology.
so, I regret to give only 4 stars, taking in account that the chapters of the book are concise, well done, showing the best practical approach, in comparison to other dermo text bks.
