This concise textbookof dermatology is aimed at medical students and those preparing for the MRCP and MRCGP examinations. The information is presented in a highly accessible format, using double page spreads for each topic. Extensive use of colour for both clinical photographs and graphics makes for a superb appearance. For review for examination preparation, key point boxes are provided. In this third edition, extensive revision has been made to reflect changes in the understanding of dermatological conditions at a molecular level and the changes in clinical practice. In addition, the use of the internet for dermatological information by both doctors and patients is reviewed.

Summary: Best very short dermatology book.
Rating: 5

The very best very short dermatology book. Need to supplement it with access to Wolf, references by Rapini, and even eMedicine.

Summary: Concise and excellent
Rating: 5

This book is well illustrated as suggested by title. The pictures of the different skin conditions are particular helpful in enhancing one's memory of the subject. It offers ideal depth for undergraduate study and is most helpful as pre-reading and review. I covered it in a week and am sounding pretty much like a dermatologist
in class. Simplicity is the key to my liking of this book.
