Old books you would like to rewritten with high-quality typesetting

There are some question on mathoverflow such as
- What out-of-print books would you like to see re-printed?
- Old books still used
that the answer of users tell us that:
Mathematicians prefer to use older books because of some old books are full of amazing ideas and some of them are comprehensive (such as books of Spivak).
Question: Which Old books (low quality typesetting) you would like to rewritten with high-quality typesetting not just re-printed of old version.
My question is not just a question. We are a group of math students (most of them are geometry students) that want to re-write popular old books using LATEX.
One can search for most cited books such as: Curvature and Betti numbers (K Yano, S Bochner) or Einstein manifolds (AL Besse).

Algebra for Beginners, by Todhunter.
It was first printed 1876, so it should be totally fine to make a typeset version of this. I got an original as a gift, and read it. For a research mathematician, it is elementary, but there is at least one trick that I learned from that book, that high-school (and undergraduate university) did not teach me:
How to simplify $sqrt{7+4sqrt{3}}$?
Also, the book is still being printed, latest I can find is from 2016, with a price of about $40 (when ordering from a Swedish company).

The 1978 book "Probabilities and Potential" by by Claude Dellacherie, and Paul-André Meyer (and later volumes) is still a standard reference for man facts concerning probability theory, stochastic processes, and measure theory. Sadly, the typesetting is really ugly and newer reprints are just image copies.
Interestingly, the earlier 1966 book "Probability and Potentials" by Meyer alone, essentially the predecessor, was beautifully typeset.
