A Doody's Core Title ESSENTIAL PURCHASE!
"This atlas uses high quality photographs and well written, brief synopses to cover an enormous amount of information about skin diseases in one book....This atlas combines over 900 color photographs with succinct descriptions of skin diseases and systemic diseases with skin manifestations to create the most useful single reference in the field. This is the one book I would recommend to a non-dermatologist learning or practicing medicine in any field in any country. For dermatologists, as well, it is useful as a quick and easy reference guide. 3 Stars."--Doody's Review Service
Covering the full range of conditions, from rashes, to skin lesions and disorders of the hair, nail, and mucosa, Fitzpatrick's is a unique combination of text, clinical reference, and color atlas-one that gives you the best quality and most varied photographs of skin disorders available anywhere. The book features a consistent format featuring key facts pertaining to epidemiology, clinical manifestations, physical exam, diagnosis, and treatment, each paired with several clear photographs to show how the condition appears-plus boxed overviews of each disease category with severity-specific icons.

Superb on the iPad:
I was a bit wary of purchasing this book on Kindle with the negative review posted earlier. Yes, it may be miserable on the original b&w Kindle, but on the iPad, it's just what the doctor ordered. Excellent color photos are included, which easily enlarge in standard iPad fashion. I'd strongly recommend this book for daily practice. I'm using it to study for my board recertification, but love the fact that I can easily have the great photos and text with me in daily practice in the emergency... more info
The must-have derm book!:
This text is required for my dermatology course in PA school and it was an investment well spent. The chapters are well organized, sections within chapters are easy to read, and the pictures are a great addition to the material presented in my class. I definitely plan to take this on rotations and into clinical practice with me!
great general text.:
This text is perfect for a general derm text. All you really need in general practice.
Newer is not better:
The 4th edition is more concise. Though many pictures are shared the earlier edition has better pictures. I like the new edition okay but still prefer the 4th edition.
