Where can I find the Ackerman dermpath books?

These are as far as I know out of print and notoriously difficult to find, even on websites like amazon and ebay.

Does anyone here have any leads for these that I could pursue?

I can sell you one after I retire for 10k. I'd consider it a steal.

In all seriousness though, I think the book is interesting and somewhat legendary, but I rarely use it . First year in practice sure, not much nowadays. I consider Ackerman's algorithmic approach more of an intellectual framework rather than hard and fast rules.

I left all mine at my office for the new guy when i retired. They weren’t that great. The big one they called the “golden cadillac “ really tended to muddy the waters more than provide definitive dx’s.

For inflammatory dermatopathology, I recommend the "Inflammatory Dermatopathology" by Steve Billings. A great guide.
