"Drs. Paller and Mancini could not have done a better job with this textbook. It is absolutely worth more than the listed price. I am currently recommending it to colleagues interested in pediatric skin disease at all levels of training because the authors have so beautifully represented the field of pediatric dermatology with this outstanding text." - Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, review of the last edition
