If you want a book which is priced under $30, write it yourself and put it on the internet: then it's free. (This is not a quip or a dismissive comment: please do actually do this.

(Added: I just processed the part of your question where you mention supplementing the book with material from Courant and Robbins. That latter book is all about perspective, so I guess the idea is that you want to avoid duplication of content, which is very reasonable. Sorry if I sounded overly critical before.)
