Camisa originally published a hardcover reference book on psoriasis in the early 1990s. This is the second edition of a handbook that is designed as a companion to that original book. However, it is a complete book in its own right and a comprehensive summary of current knowledge about psoriasis and treatment of this condition in dermatological medicine. All chapters are well cross-referenced with recent literature articles, useful for a dermatologist wishing to follow up a particular direction. The book has an updated review on all conventional therapies and a final chapter on the new biological agents. Such is the pace of development with these new therapies that this final chapter almost seems dated. The chapter, however, still contains an excellent summary of the differences and similarities between these remarkable and new potential treatments for psoriasis. This book is recommended as an inexpensive addition to a dermatologist's library, providing a well-researched update of recent literature on psoriasis.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAustralasian Journal of Dermatology, Nov, 2005\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharles Camisa\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Psoriasis\u003c\/i\u003e, 2nd Edition, published by Wiley.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe new second edition of the \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Psoriasis\u003c\/i\u003e remains an easy-to-read but detailed text on a common skin disease which affects 2% of the world's population.
