"...this sounds like a fascinating book by Julia Newton-Bishop and
Martin Gore who are probably at the forefront for their work in
melanoma in this country.

"The book seems readable, and generally the titles for each of
the chapters make me want to read it - in fact I want to read this
book now!

"In terms of the authors' competence and reputation, as I say, the
editors could not be bettered."

Miss Christobel Saunders, Senior Lecturer & Honorary
Consultant in Surgery, University College London

"The authors, or should we say editors, are very well known, both
in this country and internationally for their interest in melanoma
and they are indeed admirably qualified to write such a book. The
style seems very practically orientated and in that way is likely
to be popular.

"...the list of authors of chapters is excellent in that in each
chosen author appears to be an expert in the area he or she has
been designated so that apart from the reservation I have stated I
would certainly expect the book to do well."

Professor Martin Cook, Professor of Histopathology, Royal
Surrey County Hospital

"...this book is a satisfyingly complete review of the
controversial issues that need to be addressed by clinicians
involved in melanoma. I believe it has certainly achieved the
objective I set for it when I picked it up and I have no doubt that
it will be seen in all library collections where melanoma patients
(and those being screened for melanoma) are being managed..."
