Format:Paperback
This book is well written, concise, yet covers a lot of ground. It includes pictures of practically every dermatological pathology you could be interested in as a medical student. The highly systematic approach and thorough index mean you can get to a picture and the most relevant clinical information on a disease within 30 seconds.
Highly recommended.

EXCELLENT REFERENCE BOOK
24 Feb 2004
Format:Paperback
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.

WELL-RESEARCHED, WELL-DOCUMENTED
27 Jan 2003
Format:Paperback
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.

Great reference
18 Dec 2005
Format:Paperback
My preference overall in terms of derm texts is Habif, mostly due to organization, but this one comes in a close second. Lots of great pics and simple straightforward explanations (sometimes a little too simple). Also probably a great book for laypeople with some knowledge of medical terminology.
