"This is a fun book if you can call a book on dermoscopy fun. It covers dermatoscopic findings seen in parasitic infections, inflammatory dermatoses, alopecia disorders, and aging skin changes. There are many color photographs and descriptions of the magnified findings... This book takes dermoscopy skills to the next diagnostic level. It behooves all clinical dermatologists to master this information so as to improve their diagnostic acumen. We can no longer rely solely on our eyeballs." - 4 stars (90/100), Patricia Wong, MD (Private Practice), Doody's Book Review Service
