I've seen some positive things about Dover books and they are pretty much always pretty cheap.  

Oh they are great. I collect them, even if I don't read all of them thoroughly.  I self-studied some basic Graph Theory from this one for fun. It was actually a great way to get into a subject which I probably won't use, but I was interested about nevertheless. I have a few others that I read from time to time, one on Engineering Mechanics (which is quite a different approach to forces and physical systems than I am used to as a physics major), a Theoretical Physics reference book which is handy when I need to look up a particular topic/formulation, "The Philosophy of Space & Time" by Hans Reichenbach which is a great way to learn about what philosophers of science do, and the ideas behind many of the ideas presented in relativity; Mathematics for Non-Mathematicians which I read when I want to describe a topic to somebody without mathematics experience, an upper level undergraduate Geometry book  which I have yet to go through thoroughly, and a book on Fourier Series which I have also yet to go through thoroughly.
