Reading 100+ year old mathematics books is a great investment. Most are in the public domain so they're free to download, distribute, and print.

Huh, seems interesting. I'll definitely give it a go

Some of the problems are surprisingly laborious.  There's even a sequel by the same authors, Higher Algebra, that includes concepts that most mathematics students probably haven't seen.  I'm not sure if that's a testament to the uselessness of those concepts... but they're interesting nonetheless.
