I'm currently studying Ukrainian alongside Polish. My major problem with Ukrainian is that I can't find any good textbooks.
Any suggestions?
I have found one 'rozmovliaimo let's talk'
but it's 60euros on ebay. If it's my only option I'm happy to buy it but 60euros is a lot of money to part with if the book turns out to be a 'dud'
Does anybody have any sample pages of 'rozmovliaimo let's talk' in pdf or any other text books they could share with me?
Thanks!

Other options include:
Colloquial Ukrainian
Everyday Ukrainian
Modern Ukrainian
Teach Yourself Ukrainian
Ukrainian for Speakers of English
Scroll down in the Ukrainian profile to "Books" for brief comments on the books listed and "Links" for learning material on the Internet.

If you are looking for Ukranian textbooks online then I suggest you visit BookGator website to find what you are looking for. They have a big collection of textbooks that you can rent or buy. Aside from that you also have an option to sell some books of yours that you don't need anymore for a price that is appreciated.

You should be able to find a lot online ;)
If you're interested in football, http://www.eurolang2012.com is a great resource.
Years ago I got my hands on a textbook entirely in Ukrainian and took photos of every page... the problem is that I can't tell you which textbook it is! It may or may not be the one linked above. That one was published in 2006 or earlier though.
Regardless of what you choose, Ukrainian is a language where you need to move on to native materials earlier than say with Spanish.

Assimil just released a Ukrainian course - but it is based in French. It is already on my wish list for my birthday :-)

Forgot the most important thing: that Ukrainian-only book was very good. So there might be two really good Ukrainian-only textbooks. Or it might be the same one.

Colloquial, Complete Ukrainian (teach yourself). They seem ok, if you like it. I prefer using Assimil. They just released a new Ukrainian Assimil last month.
Anyways, There's that one if you're in a beginner's mood!
"Beginner's Ukrainian: With Interactive Online Workbook",
http://www.hippocrenebooks.com/book.aspx?id=1699
You got samples on that editor's webpage.
Much cheaper on amazon I add. Seems good enough for beginners.
Being from ukrainian origins (amoung others) I wanna learn the language, which is very melodic I Find. Ukrainian is my next language target.
But you'll have to learn Ukrainian by yourself, unless you speak Russian (or maybe in ukrainian or polish), I don't think there are that many "textbooks" of Ukrainian that go beyond the beginners's phase.I suggest the radio or TV it helps for any language.
www.nrcu.gov.ua
Teach Yourself is not that bad for a beginner.
After the beginner's phase, you'll have to move on to ukrainian materials. Which is not a bad thing after all.
Just take any book you like in Ukrainian, and begin reading it, the further you'll go, the less words you'll have to translate, it helps a lot, reading real books in the target language).
As for the assimil, can't say, there's an american guy who bought it, he says it's a bit elementary for an assimil. (I've got the assimil Italian, it's short too, but it does the job). I want to buy it I think, I'll tell you if it is any good (or maybe I should wait for my local library to answer to the purchase request...). I'll buy the book anyway next week, the audio can wait as I'm not actively studying Ukrainian.
