"Teach Yourself Sanskrit" by Michael Coulson is great.
It's only defect is that it relies on contentually
uninteresting drama text because such text is relatively
easy to parse. I found it at Amazon <http://tinyurl.com/egn7d>.
Apparently there is a new revised edition by "Coulson et. alii"
out too. I can't vouch for that one. Since you are
probably located in Sweden I looked it up at bokus.com too:

BTW I once read about a Swedish gypsy man who
came to the Sanskrit professor at Uppsala (IIRC)
because he wanted to learn "Sannskriften". The
net result was a description of his Romany dialect
written by the professor's doctor student...
