 What inspired you to become involved with Rook's Textbook of Dermatology?
Well, Rook's Textbook of Dermatology
is iconic in the world of dermatology. To be given the opportunity to
edit such a prestigious textbook was something I didn't have to think
very long about before accepting.  What do you feel are the reasons for the success of Rook's Textbook of Dermatology over the years?
It was one of the first really comprehensive textbooks of dermatology.
It still is comprehensive, and it's written in a very accessible way.  What do you think readers are going to get out of the new edition?
They're going to get up-to-date  information on the understanding of
disease processes, how to make diagnoses, and also the latest in
therapeutics and management of skin disease, all of which have evolved.
 This
edition has, for the first time, an online version which can also be
used on smartphones. How do you think that will that make Rook's Textbook even more useful?
I think it will really make a difference. Rook's Textbook is
a heavyweight reference book. It's not something you can easily
transport with you and nowadays online access is the way that most of my
residents access their information. It's how I increasingly access my
information and to have it in that portable accessible manner is very
21st century.  Looking ahead to the future how do you see dermatology evolving?
I believe dermatology will be a mix of medical dermatology, which is
using new biologic therapies - for management of psoriasis for instance,
 and – increasingly - procedural dermatology. By that I mean not just
skin cancer surgery, which of course is an increasing part of the
dermatologists' workload, but also the inevitable rise of what's known
as aesthetic dermatology, or cosmetic dermatology, which will form part
of most dermatologists' practice.  What attracted you to dermatology to begin with?
When I first did dermatology as a medical student it was the specialty I
found straightforward. I have that ability to pattern recognize which
some of my medical student colleagues didn't have. If you can tell the
difference between psoriasis and eczema at an early stage, that's
probably going to set you on the right path. What I liked was that it's
very much a specialty dependent on your own inherent clinical skills and
still to this day and age is not that dependent on instrumentation.  
 
     Review
 "Somehow each edition gets better than the last...the greatest appeal
of Rook; its predictable totality of everything dermatological...it is a
superlative reference and will answer questions that no other text
can...a thorough, modern masterpiece. It will provide years of service
on your bookshelf"
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology on the 7th edition
"Rook's Textbook of Dermatology is a 'must have' for those in training or practising dermatology and should be close at hand in the clinic."
British Journal of Dermatology"...one
of the towering academic and clinical achievements of twentieth century
dermatology...no self-respecting dermatologist should even think of
practising our specialty without a copy of this book close at hand...a
delight to hold, a delight to browse, and a delight to read...As usual,
Blackwell's designers have done a beautiful job."
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology"...continues
the tradition of excellence for which the previous editions were justly
acclaimed...it is difficult to imagine practising dermatology without
ready access to this book and harder to imagine why one would try."
JAMA"Essential. Indispensable. The fifth edition of "Rook," just out, is unarguably the best textbook of dermatology in the world."
British Medical Journal"An outstanding 6th edition of a tried and tested textbook in our field!"
