- Great book, well summarized and written.
Simple and with few things to say: it has good quality photos, well sumarized textbook and the list of differential diagnosis is also of great utility.
I like it, cause it did not exclude the importance of the clinical correlation for a correct diagnosis.
But attention: it is a book for a simple consult, not for long and detailed studies.

- Excellent book
This book is a life-saver in a day to day sign-out. Well organized with a good differential diagnosis.
I usually use it as a companion to Weedon.

- The Essential Primer for Dermpath
Rapini has incredible skill at distilling the complex and convoluted world of dermpath into this succinct yet thorough book.

- Go to Derm-path book
This is the first derm book I go to when I have a challenging rash. In the inside front cover I have a copy of Ackerman's algorithms which I also frequently use.

The best thing about this book is it's practicality. You see a feature on the glass slide (e.g. neutrophilic spongiosis) and then you go to the first chapter which lists all the conditions associated with neutrophilic spongiosis. Each entry in this list is indexed to a discussion of the disease elsewhere in the book (see ... Read More

- A must
This is a must for every dermpath resident, general pathologist and even dermatologist. Easy to carry on, has the most relevant info for the most common skin conditions. It has a different, very intuitive approach to evaluate a biopsy, not only guided by patterns, but also with the clinical features, which are critical to a well oriented diagnosis.
It may look thin, but I can assure you that it will be your first reference book!.
