"This is the BEST edition of Fitzpatrick's Dermatology in General Medicine. Every chapter has been completely rewritten and updated; many new chapters cover new topics such as atypical melanocytic nevi, oncogenes, and epidemiology; and therapy, which in previous editions was not extensively covered, now has over 300 pages devoted to therapeutics, surgery, and laser. Clinical color photographs and microscopic color photographs of histology appear in every chapter, a big improvement over the older editions that had black-and-white pictures. Everyone needs to own a copy of this superb seventh edition....This is an outstanding book and if you have only one dermatology book, this is the one.

I am a resident of dermatology, for my tests i have to read the hole book. when i saw this new edition i was very pleased. Compared to others editions it has more comparative tables so is easier to make diferences between diseases that are alike, also brings new algorithms that makes easier to understand the evolution and what do you spect to find. the chapter of embiogenesis and the part of inmunology in some chapters are also illustrated (the last one does not bring those illustrations. Its true, it cames in three collums, but the letter is big enough for read it, also i prefer that that three o 4 volumes. in comparison of the bologna, this one brings more diseases.

I had been looking forward to the new edition of Fitzpatrick after the announcements of new, updated format, improved web-content, etc. What a disappointment! Only part of the text is actually in the book, additional content only to be found on the web-version, which is both cumbersome to use (PDF version of the book rather than html with hyperlinks) and appears to deliver only part of what was promised (i.e. there is no way to copy the figures and paste into powerpoint). As a bonus, the entire text is littered with "e" symbols indicating additional e-only text, which makes for quite annoying reading and is just plain ugly. The general unattractiveness of the layout is compounded by the 3-column design, which means that practically every word longer than 10 letters (i.e. most of derm nomenclature) is hyphenated at least once (often twice). Not the way forward for residents and practicioners alike, methinks. Figure quality is definitely below the Bolognia standard and after reviewing several chapters it is obvious that a lot of the material is duplicated throughout both volumes (amazingly, the same picture that looks fine in volume I will be off-color in volume II and vice versa, which is quite annoying in a field like dermatology, which relies heavily on visual clues). If this is the future of textbooks, then I hope I will be able to get on without using any. In the meantime, I shall return my copy of Fitz and go with the new edition of Bolognia.

Trying to purchase this two volume set through AMAZON was a DISASTER! The order was shipped and only one of the two volumes arrived. I returned the one volume and AMAZON reshipped the order. Again, only volume two arrived. I finally had to cancel the order with AMAZON and ordered it directly from the publisher ~ McGraw Hill Medical. AMAZON has not explained the basis for the problem, but McGraw Hill ships the two volumes together in shrink wrap. Somehow, the two volumes (which look identical except for the volume number) were removed from the shrink wrap and, in each case, only volume 2 was shipped by AMAZON.

We ordered this twice from Amazon. Each time, it came with only one of two volumes. When calling in to correct this, each time the assistant was unable to figure out how to get us the second volume, so we returned both first volumes and have not tried to re-order.

I paid for two volumes but only came the first volume. I was deceived. I want the second volume or my money back.
