"Without doubt this is an excellent book and the reader is encouraged to dip in and read around a topic and enhance their knowledge. It is also a super reference book, particulary when wanting more information about dermatological therapeutics - an area that is often neglected."Reviewed by: Dr Harry Brown on behalf of Glycosmedia, April 2014

"It is a book I keep in my clinic, along with Bolognia's Dermatology and a drug rash book. I would feel vulnerable without them."Reviewed by: Neill Hepburn MD FRCP Consultant Dermatologist, Lincoln County Hospital, 2014
