I read the reviews that it's one of the classics in this topic, I wonder does someone know why AMS publishing stopped printing the book (im referring to the three volumes in one book), especially when the book was published in 2005, i know that it's not profitable but for classic book i would think it would not matter if it were profitable or not.
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
Yes, that's the book I linked to. Apparently I chose a bad link. Regardless, it's not out of print - just do a search for it on the AMS website and you'll find it. Moreover, you can purchase it from amazon.com.
 
Well I checked at blackwell.co.uk for a copy of it, and they say that it's out of print.
 
For what it's worth, I just started reading this book and it is by far the best Complex Analysis book I've read. I find it to be much better than Ahlfors, which we used in my Complex Analysis class. I purchased it on Amazon.
