Thank you for the alternative source as far as price.

I have the advanced calculus book by kaplan.

I'm going to start my self study by studying Pre-Calculus/ Algebra from Allendoerfer Fundamentals of Freshman Mathematics and REA's pre-calculus problem solver and Algebra Trigonometry problem solver. Then move on to Spivak and Kaplan's Calculus and Linear Algebra.
