Outstanding:
A really great book I learned dozens of new factoids in reviewing it.
One of the few dermatology books in which the 2nd ed trumps the first.
nice update, pda not available yet:
Great text, nice updates... only problem is the PDA download is not available until an estimated mid-June. There is no mention of this on the website or even on the download card that comes with the textbook. You won't find this out unless you contact the publisher.
