The classical stuff is great:

* Geometry and the imagination by Hilbert and Cohn-Vossen

* Methods of mathematical physics by Courant and Hilbert

* A comprehensive introduction to differential geometry by Spivak (and its little brothers Calculus and Calculus on manifolds)

* Fourier Analysis by Körner

* Arnold's books on ODE, PDE and mathematical physics are breathtakingly beautiful.

* The shape of space by Weeks

* Solid Shape by Koenderink

* Analyse fonctionnelle by Brézis

* Tristan Needhams "visual" books about complex analysis and differential forms

* Information theory, inference, and learning algorithms by MacKay (great book about probability, plus you can download the .tex source and read the funny comments of the author)

And finally, a very old website which is full of mathematical jewels with an incredibly fresh and clear treatment: https://mathpages.com/ ...I'm in love with the tone of these articles, serious and playful at the same time.
