In good condition - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.This is an extensive revision of the first edition of this book thanks to the many suggestions I have received re inclusions and changes to the book. Most of the pathological terms have been placed in the Common Terms section (CT) which has additional illustrations. This however will not replace the A to Z of Skin Failure just as the revised version of the A to Z of Bones, Joints, Ligaments & the Back, did not replace the A to Z of Bone & Joint Failure, but rather enhanced it.The three main sections HAIR, NAILS & SKIN of the main text (MT) have remained separate in this edition as om the last. but there is more cross referencing, throughout particularly between the CT section and the MT.Some Cosmetic procedures are included and summarized as they are in many circles regarded as the normal condition of these tissues, particularly the aging skin.
