Reviews "A dermatological tour de force... The colour is lifelike the focus sharp... Well written, clear and simple text ... The index is comprehensive... " BMJ "The book is worth purchasing for the superb photographs alone. An outstanding clinical book that is a must for all reference libraries. I highly recommend it!" Patricia Wong M.D., Stamford Uniersity Medical Center , Doody.com "there is no better atlas of clinical dermatology. Thus volume would make an invaluable addition to the shelves of practicing dermatologists, dermatopathologists, pathologists and trainees within these specialities." Bruce R. Smoller , Journal of Cutaneous Pathology "remains the benchmark against which all dermatological atlases will be judged." R Graham-Brown , British Journal of Dermatology "This is simply the best dermatological atlas available. It is written in a style that clearly reflects the views of an experienced dermatologist. The text blends in well with the superb illustrations and it provides an illustrated guide with accompanying text of advanced textbook standard." BMA Book Awards 2003, Highly Commended
