I can't comment on these books but I think when I went to school we used Kaplan's Advanced Calculus book and as I remember it was an excellent book with very understandable descriptions of difficult concepts:

also you might find your books cheaper on ABEBOOKS if you don't care about the latest and greatest version:

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.
