Histopathology of the Skin is a classic work that has been used by generations of dermatopathologists, pathologists, and dermatologists to further their knowledge, in their current practices, and in the training of their own students.

The pathophysiologic organization used in Histopathology of the Skin is based on Walter Lever's original scheme, with appropriate modifications over the years, and is more efficient than the pattern method, since related entities are discussed in juxtaposition, instead of being scattered about the book.

Strengths of the book apart from its reputation as a classic work include its comprehensive coverage.
