For the past 6 months I have been reading the best overall text book on any subject I have ever studied for the past 24 years: Dermatology by Bolognia. What I like about this book: the chapters are clearly written and well illustrated. The information is useful, very well organized, clinically relevant, and fairly complete. Chapters cover medical derm, cosmetic derm, and surgical derm. The book is replete with useful tables. Best of all, there is an online version available with the purchase of the books, which allows one to easily print out copies of chapters for reading on the train, etc. Kudos to Bolognia et al. I plan to read every chapter a couple of times before I graduate!

My wife developed chronic urticaria, nothing helped, the doctors could not do much. We would stay up all night itching. It got so bad, it was making us miserable. At my wits end, I was combing over all the journal articles I could find, reading every book I could get my hands on. I was slowly starting to make sense of what was going on, and our doctors could not. I finally ordered this book thinking it might have something about CU. It was a little pricey for a graduate student. When I got the book, I was just so amazed at how great it was. A large number of color picture, and it covered chronic urticaria, very thoroughly. It took 3 months of reading journals review articles and other books. Had I had this set, I would of been done in 30 minutes.It has everything you could think of involving the skin you could think of. This book is worth, four times what it costs.I would recommend it for educated people, but not just doctors, and sciencetists.


Good book, bad service   February 21, 2008

These are great books.
Unfortunately I had to order them twice from Amazon.
First time only received Vol 1 (even though this is a two volume set!!!) and then had to hear that I cannot be sent vol 2, and second time the order was lost.
