Review
From the reviews of the second edition:
“The book is an updated edition of the first one which was well accepted by dermatologists and other medical professionals. … To write such a compendium is a daring and ambitious enterprise. … full credit has to be given to the Editors for their endeavor in preparing this excellent and extensive handbook. … The Editors and coauthors succeeded in gathering a cornucopia of information, extremely useful to residents, practicing dermatologists, general practitioners and other specialists as well as to experienced teachers of dermatology.” (Aleksej Kansky, Acta Dermatovenerologica, Vol. 13 (1), 2004)
