TITLE: Book on quasiconformal mappings?
QUESTION [8 upvotes]: I am looking an introductory book on "quasiconformal mappings" for self-study. Also I would like to know about motivation and history behind this concept (I am a beginner of this subject).
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

REPLY [3 votes]: Just to complement the above answers, I think that the book by Fletcher and Markovic "Quasiconformal Maps and Teichmüller Theory" is pretty nice introductory reference to this topic as well. Another book that you should look at is Hubbard's "Teichmüller Theory Vol.1"; the exposition of q.c. mappings in Chapter 4 is beautifully written.
