I don't believe that you can fit into a book the breadth of
coverage of NR, and at significantly more depth.  (Quality is
likely not linear with depth (pages), so maybe only two or
three times the pages.)

As I remember it, NR supplies references for more depth on each
specific topic (more or less chapter).  If you go down the list
and select about 10 of them, (you probably recognize the names),
you should have a high quality library of numerical methods books.

Though it seems usual for the deeper books to be more theory
and less practice (sample code).
