Richard Zach et al. logic textbooks are a work of art: https://slc.openlogicproject.org.

Aside, I'd be happy to pay for great classic math textbooks in a well typeset edition.

Finite Dimensional Vector Spaces is one such example. The text is fantastic, but everything is too cramped and hard to read compared to a modern book from the 1970s onward.

A newer edition typeset in LaTeX would be great.

There was a project a while ago to do exactly this (in general, not for Halmos's book specifically. I assume that's the one you mean). I can't find it by Googling, but here's an Internet Archive capture of a Project Gutenberg page that collected books for which this had been done: https://web.archive.org/web/20120502091427/https://www.guten... .
