@rtn echoing @AdrianRiskin as far as university level texts go. In times past you would get some school level textbooks that went quite far in many areas (and they'd be labelled "algebra") but they wouldn't teach you any *abstract* algebra like group theory, no proper number theory, etc.
The following has some very good textbooks. I suspect the copyright situation might be dubious and it may get pulled, but who knows.

@aleph_omega_plus_four @AdrianRiskin I don't mind that though. It's quite nice to have an algebra book go deeper into "pure" algebra (if I may use that wording) and instead read about abstract algebra etc in some other book. I guess it's the whole breadth vs depth trade off.
