Are there any other books with a similar style to the Berlitz self teacher books? Where one line has the
language and under it has the translation? I really enjoy this style but the Berlitz books don't have many
languages to choose from.

The closest books to Berlitz are the Cortina Language series. I have several and I like them a lot.

There are also the 'step-by-step' textbooks (Italian Step-by-Step, French Step-by-Step, etc) by Charles Berlitz, which are more recent than the Berlitz self-teacher series.
For German there's German: How to Speak and Write It by Rosenberg and for French, French: How to Speak and Write It by Lemaitre.
One may also regard the Assimil books as being of this type, except for having side-by-side rather than interlinear translations.

Thank you for pointing these books out. I read through the introduction to the French book by Lemaitre, and have just bought a used hardcover version of it. Sure it's 65 years old, but that will be part of the fun!
