...author of The Principles and Art of Plastic Surgery (Little, Brown; $35), he enlisted the University of Miami's David Ralph Millard Jr., 37, a kindred spirit and former pupil. Utterly different from anything else in the field, their work is neither a set text nor a formal reference book, but a remarkable grafting of plastic surgery history and techniques onto a chatty life history of Innovator Gillies (known to colleagues as "Giles").
