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, Doody’s Review Service, October, 2011)()
