  perfect for general practice

I am a family resident doing a rotation in dermatology and this is the book i am using. It is simple enough that you don't need an extensive background in derm to understand it, but it is complete enough to provide all the info you need. great pictures, clear explanations (skin/non skin findings, progression of the disease, treatment...) The color coded pictures of usual distribution are incredibly useful!
It is probably not enough for a derm resident, but for a rotation through derm, or for general practice, this is what you need.
 
  By far the best for your money!

I use this book in my primary care clinic all the time, and it's enormously useful -- much better than Fitzgerald. It has good pictures of the typical presentations, not only the most severe cases. The pictures of the usual distribution of lesions are also very helpful. The recommendations for treatment are clearly laid out. I highly recommend it!
 
  Great Derm Book!

This is a wonderful dermatology book! I just got it and can't put it down. Very comprehensive, clear, well-organized. Lots of pictures. Covers more material than Fitzpatrick, and much more clearly. As an internist, this book is perfect for me.
 
  Easy to reference, easy to help treat

I'm a Physician Assistant student working in a busy military hospital. This book is absolutely wonderful if you're looking for a quick diagnosis and treatment to common skin diseases. It's easy to reference, there are diagrams showing lesion distribution as well as beautiful pictures of common presentations, and an easy-to-reference treatment section. This won't cover everything, and you'll have to use a more comprehensive derm book for "zebras", but on the whole it's an excellent reference book in a general care environment.
 
  Great photos, great dermatological synopsis

Those practitioners looking for a good overview of many dermatological conditions, with up to date treatments have found a pear in this Habib edition. This book stays on my desk or in a room - where I peruse through pictures or show patients pictures of others with their condition. Most dermatological atlas or text are incredibly expensive. The price makes this edition a MUST BUY.
