I'm a native French speaker and I'd like to reduce my accent in German. I haven't found many books on that topic...Are there other materials you would recommend?

I hope to start using Phonothek intensiv soon, which was kindly suggested by patrickxb. I had to order the book and CDs separately. It's not exactly the fanciest course in the world, and the course book is all in German so you'll need a dictionary at times I guess, but it does seem very thorough and systematic. One thing I already like is that it doesn't assume the reader is English, and instead provides a matrix in the front of the book outlining possible pronunciation problem areas by country. Another good sign is that it's published by Langenscheidt (i.e. who make good German dictionaries at least) and is classified by most publishers as being suitable for learners who wish to improve their German pronunciation in the B1-C1 competency range.
