4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent photo reference, Jun 10 2011
I purchased this book for my boyfriend, who is a sculptor specializing in Halloween masks. I wanted a book with a great number of visual references, for him to refer to while designing monsters. He was thrilled with the book and its numerous high quality colour pictures, and has immediately set to making three new sculpts! We would definitely recommend Fitzpatrick's to any artist looking for reference images.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT REFERENCE BOOK, Feb 24 2004
By A Customer
I have used this book throughout 2 years of medical school and it is one of the best dermatology references I have come across. It has also been a quick review for the the path seen with derm since the pictures are so clear and give a good representation of the path. An easy book to skim through before boards as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great overview of Clinical Dermatology, Jan 29 2003
By 
Richard C. Jensen (San Diego, California United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I enjoyed reading this book as a layperson, not having gone to medical school. I have a number of minor skin problems and this book allowed me to differentiate the insignificant ones from the ones I need to pay attention to. I think that this book should be in every household, because a person or parent should know what skin affliction(s) they have and how serious they are before they rush off to the doctor. One thing that should have been elaborated on more is the sub-section on The Nails as Clues to Multiorgan Disease. There are only a few pages of examples of this, yet there are dozens of correlations between abnormal fingernails and systemic disease. The book only gives blantant and graphic examples of serious nail problems and then gives the possible associated underlying disease. It should be expanded to include more "soft sign" nail problems to help doctors make educated guesses about what tests to run.
