Review quotes

"This is a terrific introductory textbook for dermatology. I highly recommend it. It is obvious the authors are great clinicians and teachers. I would like to suggest they publish an advanced version for dermatologists, discussing toxic epidermal necrolysis, drug reactions, eosinophilia, and systemic manifestations, etc."-Patricia Wont, MD,(Standofrd University Medical Center) Doody Review: 5 stars
