From the reviews:

“This beautifully written book is an excellent review of various autoimmune diseases that a rheumatologist encounters in the inpatient and outpatient setting. … It will serve as an excellent resource for trainees (particularly those pursuing specialty training in rheumatology) and practicing rheumatologists and internists. … Illustrations including imaging make it an interesting read for trainees and physicians who are involved in caring for patients with autoimmune disorders.” (Saba Beg, Doody’s Book Reviews, July, 2013)
