I've used it continuously since the first edition came out when I was in pediatric residency training a dozen years ago.

A number of my colleagues told me that they used this book almost exclusively to study for the Pediatric Boards. While I'm not sure I would use this as my sole source, there is no doubt that this book is excellent.

Its major strength is the number and quality of photographs depicting important clinical signs and symptoms, from the common (eczema, tinea capitis), to the rare (incontinentia pigmenti, Williams syndrome, etc.) When I entered my pediatric residency, many of the senior residents told me that this book was highly recommended. They were not mistaken. I recommend this book highly...
