From the reviews of the first edition:

"It is a phenomenon that value distribution theory is still a lively area of research. ... As there is still need for further investigation which seems to require fundamentally new ideas, the authors were motivated to write this book. ... The present book is very well written and it is a pleasure to read, especially the detailed motivations and comparisons of the different methods introduced and used in Nevanlinna theory." (Heinrich Begehr, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2002 h)

"This book collects together the existing work on error terms. It gives an introduction to Nevanlinna's theory of meromorphic functions, with an emphasis on error terms. ... The book is very well-written. The reviewer highly recommends this book. To close on a personal note, I learned a lot from reading this book." (Min Ru, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 981, 2002)

"The book is a very nice introduction to the theory of value distribution by covering allmajor aspects of the theory. ... One does not need too much prerequisite in reading the material, for the tools and concepts are introduced and explained in detail ... . This is a very valuable book that may be interesting both for researchers in function theory and number theory and for students." (Vilmos Totik, Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum, Vol. 68, 2002)
