Best book on advanced calculus?

By advanced calculus, you mean what would be found at say the 100-200 lvl math classes, say a reference text? Or do you want something more along the lines of an analysis book?
If its the former, Spivak 'calculus' is a fairly canonical text, albeit a little bit dated.
If you want something a little more specialized.. say sequences/series, or integration or multivariable calculus, again there are texts for each specific thing that are far more in depth than a broad overview text.

Im not sure if you are ready for this or not, but the standard text for say a 400 lvl analysis class (typically given to juniors in a math department) would be Rudin 'principles of mathematical analysis', it covers the slightly more advanced way of thinking about series/multivariable calculus and so forth, as well as some numerical methods.
I absolutely guarentee you won't be able to derive something new unless you have the material in this book second nature.
You might consider taking a course on this material, if you are serious about it, its really one of the harder classes you'll find in college and somewhat of a weedout event for math majors.
