https://github.com/tntaooa/tnt/ Closest I know to an actual book in that style in modern LaTeX. The current edition (main.pdf of that repo) however replaced all the old styling by the looks of it, luckily the antique pdf is viewable here: https://github.com/tntaooa/tnt/blob/63675f2f7dd6b0490d096754...

The extracted style files are here (as a package): https://github.com/proafxin/antique_book

On a personal note, getting the text (for MIR style books) is the somewhat easy part, see https://tug.org/FontCatalogue/oldstandard/ The hard part is the symbols (er, math). For UK style old books (MacMillan style), there is the "literat" package, "Literaturnaya" fonts, which get close but the Math symbols are a miss.
