Great book December 9, 2006
Mr. H. Williams (London, UK)

This is a great book set out in a very logical sequence. The chapters are concise and contain pictures about the different diseases. I used this book in conjunction with a dermatology atlas and my knowledge about this subject has definitely improved by doing so. There are boxes at the bottom of each page summarising the key points on each disease and the book doesnt waffle on about unimportant features. In summary, an essential book for all medical students undertaking a dermatology attachment.
A core text on dermatology June 17, 2004

The chapters have been classified into three main colour coded sections, guiding the reader through the scientific basis of dermatology and its clinical applications. Each topic is presented on double page spreads incorporating line drawings, tables and at a glance "key points" boxes. High resolution colour photographs, essential to differentiating between various dermatological conditions are strategically placed to break up, but simultaneously supplement, the text. The text itself is set out logically, incorporating bullet points and "information boxes", with minimal jargon. All the essential information is packed into each double page unit, without overcrowding the pages or resorting to text which requires a magnifying glass to read. In a nutshell, a core text which provides a "quick stop tour" to dermatology, with the perfect balance between text and illustrations.
A good text for medical students, GPs and SHOs May 21, 2003

This is one of the best of the 'shorter' dermatology books, aimed, I expect, at those who want enough knowledge to cope but not to overwhelm. It has lots of photos, and some easy to understand diagrams which really help to explain the structure and function of the skin. The text is concise and further detail is provided in tables with further facts. Each topic is covered usually on 1 double page with a summary at the end. I did have other dermatology books before this one, but this book supplanted them in my affections! It is a little weak on some topics, like disease in the nails, but also has some more unusual topics like treatments soon to arrive, photodermatology and so on. And the fact that each topic gets only a double page means that you feel you've acheived something even if you only read 2 pages!
An essential text April 3, 2003

If you only want 1 dermatology book, this should be it. Aimed at GP/SHO level, it provides information about all the major Dermatology conditions in a concise and well written format, but with more detail at times than some of the bigger books. Each double page is devoted to one condition/group of conditions and there is a summary at the end of each double page. There are also enough photographs to illustrate the conditions, in what is, essentially, a visual part of medicine.It should be your first book in Dermatology, though registrars and up will need greater detail.
