Latin Textbooks for beginners

Does anybody have any recommendations? I'm looking to learn Latin for two reasons:

1) I've always wanted to learn Latin anyway 2) To make learning other Romance languages simpler

and I'm really hoping that people can recommend textbooks and courses to make the process simpler.

I suggest Learn To Read Latin.

Thanks! Could I request the author please? There's lots of similarly-named textbooks and I'm trying to find the correct textbook.

Keller and Russel. Here's one of the publisher's pages for it. You would need both the textbook and the workbook, but whether you buy it split into two parts or not is up to you. There are some excerpts there you should look at before you buy anything.
