Indeed, the best high-school level science and math texts I've
seen on math were those used by my parents. I guess the reason
we don't see Dover reprints was that none of them ever got
established as a "classic".

At the beginning college level, there are some good classic
texts to choose from. (The main problem is in obtaining good
enough preparation by the time one gets to that level.)

I learned more from Feynman's "Lectures on Physics" and Dirac's
"Principles of Quantum Mechanics" than I did from the official
texts for those classes. These are still in print, I think.

Any chance of finding these, and others in some kind of formal list?
Website?

Surely there has to be some organization somewhere, no matter how informal,
that shares the basic principle that we are discussing.
