Can anyone recommend a good Spanish textbook for beginners?

I am currently studying Spanish with Rosetta Stone, but it is sadly lacking when it comes to the grammatical side. When I did Spanish at university as an elective I used a BBC book called Suenos. Can anyone recommend a good activities book I can use in conjunction with Rosetta? Thanks

As for textbooks, not sure (I am, in fact, investigating this myself) but Yabla is great for real Spanish audio and video resources. It requires a basic knowledge of Spanish to begin with but really tests your listening comprehension using Spanish music, movies, and tv, not "made for learning" videos that can sometimes be too basic and unrealistic.

!Exacto! is possibly the best grammar book I've come across. Not the cheapest, but it's helpful, inciteful and practical. ¡Suerte!
