"should lie on your bedside table for its marvelous illustrations and its engaging biographies of dermatologists. The more detailed history of 19th century dermatology and syphilology by Crissey and Parish that I have cherished for the past 20 years also should be studied in depth." - Charles Steffen, MD, derm101.com website "a marvelous bookThe quantity of illustrations, considering that most of them are old ones, is amazingly goodthe enthusiasm of the authors, their insightful comments, and skill with language are extraordinarily engaging. One can only hope for more from them." - Clifton R. White, MD, derm101.com website "There is much to fascinate and enchant any dermatologist with any sense of historyThe work might best be described as a scrapbook assembled by three enthusiasts for their subject, whose love of dermatology shines through the pages. As such it is enormous fun, and would make a perfect Christmas or birthday present for your favourite dermatologist." - Barry Monk in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine "The doyens of dermatological history have brought together a superb compilationI will eagerly await publication of the sequel." - J. Grahame Smith, Jr., MD, Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
