This book should contribute to a better understanding of scleroderma and other connective tissue diseases. It does, but there are serious faults.
Much of the volume is written in French. These contributions are excellent, but for those who do not read French they are of little value.

This volume is recommended to the dermatologist and internist who are interested in the group of connective tissue diseases.
