This is an excellent text of dermatopathology. The illustrations alone are immensely valuable and are about the best available. I have found this book useful, but usually have used it in conjunction with Weedon's Skin Pathology, 2nd edition (Elsevier, 2002). This new edition is completely justified as it has added new entities, new sections, and has reorganized the existing sections. CDs are also included with each volume. This book is written for the practitioners of dermatopathology, general pathology, and dermatology. Fellows and residents in these fields would also find the book helpful. The purpose was to completely rewrite the second edition to include new entities and chapters discussing hair follicle, nail, external genital, and oral mucosa pathology. An additional section covers adverse drug reactions. These are worthy objectives as the added sections have become more important and must be evaluated by dermatopathologists. The book meets the author's objectives.
