I've used Assimil and the Living Language series for German, and I would absolutely recommend Assimil (the old, pre-1980 course if you can get it). I wouldn't use Rosetta Stone even if it was free.
Then what doviende said.

Yep, definetly Assimil. It's the best
Btw, after Assimil, besides reading books, listening to the radio and watching tv, you should to practice grammar, here are
the 3 best books I've found and used for that:
1. EM Übungsgrammatik - Deutsch als Fremdsprache (ISBN: 3-19-001657-7)
2. Lehr- und Übungsbuch der deutschen Grammatik (ISBN: 3-19-007255-8)
3. Übungsgrammatik - Deutsch als Fremdsprache für Fortgeschrittene (ISBN: 3-19-00-7448-8)
I'd say the 1. is a must. Basic grammar, many exercises and it's not tedious. The second it's for upper-intermediate, you
should try it if you wanna speak the language fluently. The third is advanced, very advanced... it's not really needed.
If you live in Brazil, you should visit the SBS bookstores. They sell language-related books
and have simplified literature in many levels for English, Italian, French, Spanish and German (and Portuguese, of course).
Hope it helps!
Have a nice day!
Guido.-

There's an online grammar guide that's pretty good, and free:
http://tltc.la.utexas.edu/gg/
I recommend reading it after Assimil, then jumping straight into native materials.
