Book Reviews

"...an impressive offering and in just over 1000 pages, provides the reader a solid reference resource. The book is chunky which is good as it is information rich and yet it remains a one volume production which I prefer.... It combines the richness of a superbly detailed reference book but also as expected, there are a rich collection of images which supplement the text. Importantly, the images are next to the text and help to illustrate the detailed text. Also, the printing quality of the images is superb and can easily be viewed and they are sharp and enhance the value of the text—certainly a high value, one stop shop single volume and detailed review of dermatology and will be very useful for both primary care and specialists as well other health care professionals such as nurse practitioners.... a great book to simply dip in and educate yourself,... it is readable, interesting and yet highly informative and as I said the images are a joy. The text is broken up into small sections which enhances the reading experience—a brilliant book to add to the learning journey." — Dr. Harry Brown, Geriatric Medicine Journal, June 2025

"This dermatology book has engaging writing in a format from which learning is a pleasure.... The purpose is to act as an up-to-date reference for dermatologists and residents that discusses current therapies and pathophysiology and genetic mutations in detail of all known skin conditions....The book beautifully explains how to use a step ladder approach when choosing medications based on disease response,... [and] my favorite part of this book is the clinical photographs.... [It] holds a special place in my heart,... [the] one of the first dermatology books I purchased as a first-year resident at the recommendation of a colleague." ©Doody's Book Review Service, 2025, Patricia Wong, MD (Private Practice) Doody's Score: 99, 5 Stars!
