The main book we will follow is A First Course in Complex Analysis, by Beck, Marchesi, Pixton, and Sabalka (BMPS)

A good pair of books that are inexpensive are Elements of the Theory of Functions, by Knopp (baby Knopp) and Theory of Functions Parts I and II, by Knopp (Knopp)

A book with more of a work-through-it-yourself slant is Complex Variables, by Bowman (Bowman)
