"Pigmentary Skin Disorders is an essential addition to the bookshelves of dermatologists, dermatology trainees and clinical researchers and also provides a valuable resource for general practitioners. It will help to bring greater understanding to this important and often neglected area of dermatology, especially in Australia where clinical practice is changing due to shifts in the ethnic mix of the population."
