"This book is well written and would be of use to dermatology residents as well. Clinical features are explained and accompanied by good color photographs, work-up, diagnosis, and treatments. The information on arthropods is excellent and includes detailed photographs of the insects." ---Patricia Wong, MD (Stanford University Medical Center) for Doody's Review Service
