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, Doodys Review Service, October, 2011)
