Review
"The authors are to be congratulated on the publication of what must be one of the most significant and remarkable contributions to the literature on veterinary dermatology and dermatopathology. The short conclusion from this book review is simple: if you are in any way serious about veterinary dermatology, you must buy this book." R. Bond, Veterinary Dermatology, 2006

"Every dermatologist and veterinary pathologist in the world should own this book. It provides a unique resource for anyone who wants a definitive description of the clinical and histopathological features of all the skin diseases we currently know about." Veterinary Times, 2005

"An excellent book. The illustrations are superb and the descriptions that accompany them are in straightforward English. It stems from the authors' broad practical experience which will aid even experienced clinicians and pathologists. I recommend this book to all veterinary dermatologists and pathologists. All trainees should have a copy and ownership should be compulsory for all dermatopathologists." J Rest, Veterinary Dermatology, 2005

"The authors have written a well organised and complete review of the clinical signs and histopathologic lesions observed in all of the included skin diseases of the dog and cat. It is the most thorough and practical work available to the clinician and pathologist at this time." Dr L. D. McGill, Veterinary Pathology, 2006

"This book offers a magnificent clinical and histopathological description of all the non-neoplastic skin diseases and neoplastic skin tumors of dogs and cats known at the beginning of the 21st Century. Every general practitioner interested in dermatology, every histopathologist interested in the skin and even more so, every dermatologist and dermatopathologist should have this book, a masterpiece, permanently to hand." European Journal of Companion Animal Practice, 2006"A superb book that more than fulfils its premise. It fills a void in the dermatology literature and will become a definitive resource." Journal of Small Animal Practice
