A different way to look at dermatology specialty

I always find myself reading andrews' dermatology textbook when I want something fast, accurate, but unique about any dermatology theme on my dermatology practice. I think this book a must among derm textbooks. The references are clear and the authors go right to the point when explaining any dermatology condition. It doesn't go further as Fitzpatrik or Rook, but I like the authors point of view about therapy of any condition. I consider it a "cult" book. Perhaps it should not be a reference book, but it adds something more, with short texts, to the traditional textbooks, though photos could be in colors.

absolute must

can't emphasize it enough--plenty of derm boards fodder contained in this text. extremely high yield. a much easier read than fitzpatrick.

Required reading for derm residents!

I just read this new edition from cover-to-cover in preparation for the dermatology boards and I am very impressed! The new edition is updated not only in therapeutics but also in the latest in genetic defects underlying the genodermatoses that the boards love so much. It concisely covers clinical dermatology in a very readable format. One thing it lacks is an organized chapter on therapeutics.

A must for your dermatology library!

This edition was long overdue. The previous edition was excellent, and this one adds alot to it. Many updated therapies...several new chapters...a slightly different format...excellent new edition. The only criticism I would have is that there are still no color pictures in it. I would recommend this for all dermatology libraries and would consider it a must for all dermatology residents.

a must for dermatology residents...

this book is essential for all dermatology residents...the new edition is out now which i highly recommend, being that it now has more chapters and many updated therapies...this is a book you read from cover to cover...
