Here is one I'm using for algebra. It is short (178 pp)and succinct,
more of a reference book really, but good as a review, if like me, your
formal algebra study was long, long ago in a galaxy far away.

"Master Math: Algebra" by Debra Anne Ross. Career Press, 1996. ISBN:
1-56414-194-2  US$9.95

They also have one on pre-calculus and geometry. Haven't seen it,
though.
