From the reviews:
This deceptively slender book has everything you would ever need to know about cicatricial alopecia and more. ... would be useful for interested medical students or motivated patients. Both authors are at the forefront of research as well as clinical care in hair disease. ... I absolutely love this book. It is complete with no omissions, loaded with clinical information, and very user friendly. (Renata H. Mullen, Doody's Review Service, October, 2011)Vera H.
