If you are in college, then you should check out your school's library. Mine has all sorts of foreign-language textbooks, particularly in the sciences (including math).

I like Pontriaguin's book. I have bought a couple of them in www.ozon.ru
I particularly like this:
"Algebra" http://www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/2156699/
An elementary account about vector spaces (also includes a chapter on Jordan form!)
"Differential equations and their applications" http://www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/2156697/
Ordinary differential equations
You can try to find some of this books in djvu format

A friend pointed me to lib.org.by yesterday. I have no idea how he found it, as he's not technical and doesn't speak Russian, but nonetheless, it's an incredible site.

Could I ask you, what language you are looking for and what you want use them for?
In my view I would recommend:
"A course of higher mathematics" / V.I. Smirnov ; translated by D.E. Brown ; translation edited and additions made by I.N. Sneddon.
Oxford ; New York : Pergamon Press, 1964
It is a five volume set, but you will need only I and II. The set is very comprehensive with a lot of good topics, that are not in the newer textbooks.
Or anything by Smirnov, he writes very clear on a subject.

Excellent, that sounds interesting; I'll look into it.
As for what language: in theory, any language could be ok (for a sufficiently good math book, I'd be willing to try to learn a new one); in practice, Indo-European ones with a decent amount of materials are easiest for me at present. I've mainly done math through English, though I have used Italian and Esperanto too.
As for why: a combination of fundamental curiosity and desire for understanding, and because I notice a strong correlation between mathematical knowledge and the ability to do research I consider worthwhile in my field.

You can start here:

and here:
http://www.4shared.com/account/file/nbsGLP5y/A_Course_of_Hig her_Mathematics.html
and all this more than enough, for those who are not a professional mathematician, I think.
