The book addresses many topics not usually in "second course in complex analysis" texts. It also contains multiple proofs of several central results, and it has a minor historical perspective.

- Proof of Bieberbach conjecture (after DeBranges)
- Material on asymptotic values
- Material on Natural Boundaries
- First four chapters are comprehensive introduction to entire and metomorphic functions
- First chapter (Riemann Mapping Theorem) takes up where "first courses" usually leave off
