Reviews of the first edition:
"The authors have been successful in presenting the background of dermatologic literature in a highly entertaining and informative fashion. The volume is recommended for anyone interested in dermatology."
- Southern Medical Journal
"This delightful book will please all interested in the history of medicine and in the eponymous figures of dermatology."
- The Lancet
"… This volume is truly one of the classics of the dermatology literature. … Shelley had a brilliant mind, which would later make him one of the most respected professors in dermatology. … Nicely illustrated with drawings and photographs of many of the disorders. … Although this book is 650 pages long, I could hardly put it down. It is a tribute to Drs Shelley and Crissey and their incredible energy in assembling a 50th anniversary addition. 'Classics in Dermatology With Biological Sketches' belongs on the bookshelf of every serious dermatologist."
