Any quality books in mathematics published by this company? Many of them seem to be out of print.

Overhyped, retarded, short, formatting sucks, it's a gay fucking publisher.

None of their books provide comprehensive introductions to any subjects, unlike Springer. Springer offers much more in terms of exercises and content. The bar Springer sets is much higher than Dover for publishing.

Whenever I read one of the dover books I have I always feel like "this would be great for someone who learned completely different from me" but the dry and artificial style of other textbooks work best for me.

This. This style is most straightforward and to the point. References and supplement texts come later when I need it.

Morris Kline's Calculus book is pretty good, especially as a supplemental text to a more modern book.

If you go to school on scholarship you can afford to mindlessly purchase textbooks. Same thing if you have wealthy parents. libgen is unironically a grad student/poorfag thing and not important for most STEM undergrads.
