"All of the color photographs are of excellent quality. Tables are organized in a clear fashion to highlight 1 or 2 points and are never so cluttered to be useless.This is a superb reference and I am looking forward to the next one. It really is a must for anyone who thinks he/she is a dermatologist or just wishes to be one!"- Patricia Wong, MD (Stanford University Medical Center) 4 star Doody rating!
