Reminds me of Dover textbooks.

  Do you mean the MIT Radiation Laboratory/Rad Lab series that came out after WWII? Many of these were issued in Dover edition books. I still have some and still refer to them (especially vol 23 — Microwave Receivers/S. N. Van Voorhis/1948). https://web.mit.edu/klund/www/weblatex/node7.html https://web.mit.edu/klund/www/weblatex/node7.html https://archive.org/details/mit-rad-lab-series-version-3 https://archive.org/details/mit-rad-lab-series-version-3

    Just general physics/math Dover reprints. They share similar style to the one OP posted.

      Yeah, it's interesting to see the original 1948 publications. My uni library had a set but for some reason the covers were a reddy-brown color. All my Dover reprints are softcover and had new designs on the front. Even now, decades after I first encountered it, I find the scope and breadth of this Rad Lab series quite mindboggling. What was achieved by Fredrick Terman, Vannevar Bush et al between 1941-45 was truly remarkable. Shame the series isn't better known these days as it documents a true milestone in engineering history.
