Trade ReviewIn summary, we like this book because of its user friendly layout, clear presentation and practical approach to dermatology. We would recommend this book for new dermatology trainees, general practitioners with a specialist interest in dermatology, and other specialty doctors who would like a more in-depth knowledge of skin disease manifestations in their field, including those doctors considering a career in dermatology. * Clinical and Experimental Dermatology *
Despite its seemingly compact size it packs an awful lot of wisdom within its 693 pages making this a portable and very useful book, designed to be used frequently. The same ethos is found throughout the excellent Oxford Handbook series and this book is no exception.... As always it is keenly priced and I think represents very good value for money. It is up-to-date, accessible and has good quality colour pictures and to be honest, it is difficult to find a criticism of this excellent book. * Dr Harry Brown, Glycosmedia *
