I'm not sure about teaching oneself, but I am taking a class
which uses a set of books by Naganuma. They seem to be quite
good. They can be obtaineed through the Kinokuniya Book Stores
in Los Angeles or San Francisco. 
I have seen another 2 vol. set - Beginning Japanese by Jorden
which I think are good and they have tapes that go with them.
(The tapes are expensive, though, and I understand the books 
are very intense grammar-wise). They can be obtained at 
Kinokuniya also.
