Publisher's description from amazon.com :
Now learning non-Roman-alphabet languages is as easy as A-B-C! Readers wanting to learn the basics of reading and writing a new language that employs script will find all they need in the Teach Yourself Beginner's Script series. Each book includes a step-by-step introduction to reading and writing in a new language as well as tips and practice exercises to build learners' skills. Thanks to the experts at Teach Yourself, script will no longer be all "Greek" to language learners–unless of course, it is Greek script! Teach Yourself Beginner's Script series books feature: Origins of the language A systematic approach to mastering the script Lots of "hands-on" exercises and activities Practical examples from real-life situations.
An ideal complementary book to the "Rapid Literacy in Chinese" manual I have just uploaded here to avax.
This book has not been scanned by me, but found at bitme.org long time ago in form of a bunch of .jpg-s, then uploaded as a torrent to demonoid, and now as it is not seeding any more, I have decided to make it a .pdf and upload it here.

But I cannot miss to refer to chinesepod.com that is, in my opinion, the best on-line Chinese course.) Where I do not indicate the uploader, it was me:
