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."
