From the reviews: "This is an atlas of nail disorders based on clinical signs. Each chapter includes short accompanying text as well as tables. ... useful for dermatology residents, as well as interested medical students or nondermatologists. ... There are useful tables of differential diagnoses, many high quality photographs, and several schematic drawings. ... I liked the approach of this book from the clinical standpoint and will use it during busy days in the office." (Renata H. Mullen, Doody´s Review Service, March, 2010)
