Summary: A good basic dermatology book
Review: Habif is a classic. The pictures are among the best any dermatology textbook can have. Perhaps only Rassner has comparable pictures. But Habif has much more ones. The texts are well written and directed to easily e quick dermatology reference, on a basic point of view. I think it is a good book for dermatology knowledge introduction. If you want to go further on dermatology estudies, this a good firt step ,before more profound books, like fitkpatrick or Rook.

Summary: A must have for the primary care provider...
Review: ...for it is easy to use, written very clearly and it has wonderful pictures.
From the moment it was recommeded to me as a student to now, I have used it just about everyday.
Just as an example, Habif has a wonderful chapter on Acne that allows the primary care provider to manage this condition from its mildest to the more complicated forms. He describes the condition and the treatment options giving us a great resource for care.

Summary: Still a must have for primary providers
Review: I previously lauded the 3rd edition. Now I am extremely impressed by the latest edition. There are more pictures and elaborate details about diagnosis and treatment. But what I consider the best improvement are the expanded tables in each chapter. These tables detail recommended evaluations, treatments and differential diagnosis.
THE BEST GOT BETTER

Summary: Great reference......
Review: This book is a great reference. I really cannot say enough good things about it. It is clearly written, easy to use, and contains hundreds of color photographs. I use this reference daily to help me determine both diagnosis and treatment, as I am not a dermatologist. I would highly recommend this book to anyone in the health care field.

Summary: Fantatstic presentation of common dermatologic problems
Review: This is a wonderfully written and beautifully illustrated text of the common clinical dermatologic diseases, well discussed regarding diagnosis and management. The only criticism from this dermatopathologist is the lack of inclusion of the rarer dermatoses (some of which are not all that rare and of quite some significance, e.g. Langerhan's cell histiocytoses). However, such an inclusion would likely make the text too long and distract from actually reading and enjoying the book as it should be. After all, other more specialized texts are always available for reference. Finally, the writing is a pleasure to read and the photographs superlative. This book should be enjoyed by all who have any interest in dermatology.
