Review :
"Somehow each edition gets better than the last...the greatest appeal of Rook; its predictable totality of everything dermatological...it is a superlative reference and will answer questions that no other text can...a thorough, modern masterpiece. It will provide years of service on your bookshelf" Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology on the 7th edition "Rook's Textbook of Dermatology is a 'must have' for those in training or practising dermatology and should be close at hand in the clinic." British Journal of Dermatology "...one of the towering academic and clinical achievements of twentieth century dermatology...no self-respecting dermatologist should even think of practising our specialty without a copy of this book close at hand...a delight to hold, a delight to browse, and a delight to read...As usual, Blackwell's designers have done a beautiful job." Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology "...continues the tradition of excellence for which the previous editions were justly acclaimed...it is difficult to imagine practising dermatology without ready access to this book and harder to imagine why one would try." JAMA "Essential. Indispensable. The fifth edition of "Rook," just out, is unarguably the best textbook of dermatology in the world." British Medical Journal "An outstanding 6th edition of a tried and tested textbook in our field!" Aktuelle Dermatologie
