Coincidentally, I just picked up a book a few days ago. My bibliographic
skills are a little rusty, so:

Nicholas Awde & Putros Samano
_The Arabic Alphabet: How to Read & Write It_
Carol Publishing Group Edition, 1998.

ISBN: 0-8184-0430-2

Picked it up serendipitously at a Barnes & Noble the other day. I haven't
had a chance to work with it yet, but though not a "workbook", it does show
you how to write the letters. At just under ten bucks, I can afford to
gamble.
