ple, following “herpes simplex virus lesions of the lips,” most of the references are limited in scope, morphologic in approach, and between one and three decades old; this in an area that has undergone intensive and explosive research in the last decade especially. The book is well illustrated with black and white clinical photographs located in the appropriate chapter positions, as well as excellent and imaginative original conceptual line drawings where general principles are to be illustrated. Additionally, the appendix contains a brief but useful compendium of some of the prescriptions most often used to treat various oral maladies. In summary, despite the minor deficiencies cited, this book is appropriately organized and of sufficient comprehensiveness to belong in every dental office library. The logical, clear style of the authoritative teacher will emerge to help play an invaluable chairside role in the dental office. As a clinical outline of oral pathology this book has no peer. -Nathaniel H .
