Dermatology: An Illustrated Colour Text

"The hallmarks of the book are its superb collection of colour images, probably the clearest I'™ve seen in a dermatology text. The text itself is clear and concise. Diagrams are helpful as are the key points which are in a yellow box at the end of each topic. In conclusion, I would say this: go to your consulting room bookshelves, remove the 3rd edition and replace it with the 4th edition and make sure it is within easy reach. As we all know, about 20% of all consultations are skin related and you could be referring to this book every day!"
