A Doody's Core Title for 2011! 5 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW! "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.

Most user-unfriendly book in a long time Feb 11, 2008
By Darren 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.

Not up to the standards set by earlier versions Apr 28, 2010
By Annette B. Wysocki I agree with the criticism of the "new" seventh edition. In reading the posted material the compliments are specifically for the sixth edition. The standards set by the previous versions of Fitzpatrick's Dermatology in General Medicine have not been sustained. The wealth of authoritative information and references have been removed from the printed version making it exceedingly difficult for library patrons to access the material. Missing from this version are the wonderful wealth of photographs, electron micrographs and other authoritative source material. This version leaves me looking for a better textbook or continuing to use the more authoritative sixth edition.

false advertisement over e-edition, update just OK Nov 30, 2007
By M. Bishop Very unhappy with purchase 1. originally publisher just sent volume 1 (not through amazon) 2. documentation online and even the back cover of the book claims it includes e-edition with 'ability to annotate text' and use pictures for presentations. THIS IS NOT TRUE! It does include a download for one copy of the text to adobe digital edition... but you CAN NOT annotate the text or copy the pictures. I contacted the publisher and they say this is only the case if you purchase the additional online yearly subscription (this is CLEARLY NOT as advertised). 3. You CAN NOT use the e-edition on a handheld of any kind- as is CLEARLY pictured on the website. I contacted the publisher several weeks ago and all they said is that it was an error and they will remove it from their website... it is still there.
If you ask me they tried too hard to get this book out on time and the result is an edition that has sloppy errors even on the back hard cover of the text. When it comes to content..it seems OK. Not clearly any better than previous editions. Just in color. Many chapter are just so, so in quality. Very, very annoying that citations are online.... I have a feeling as more people purchase this book there will be more people unhappy with it and their 'e-edition' and just return it and go with Bolognia.

Great book! Nov 20, 2010
By :) Yes, the book is lengthy, as any good medical book. If you really want to learn derm and understand the diseases, stick to traditional books like this...
