They are probably terrible for self-study, but I want to mention them anyway. I am a huge fan of David Bressoud’s Calculus (and analysis!) books. His first one doesn’t have exercises and his second one has a lot of physics.

They are all heavy on written narrative and interlaced with history. I find all four of them absolutely fascinating.
