I have been looking into getting more serious about German myself, and
have come across these additional titles:

       German for Reading Knowledge
                   by Hubert Jannach, Richard Alan Korb
       Our Price: $39.95
       Availability: This title usually ships within 24 hours.

       Dimensions (in inches): 0.55 x 9.01 x 6.12
       Amazon.com Sales Rank: 45,016

       Reading German : A Course and Reference Book
                  by Waltraud Coles, Bill Dodd
       Our Price: $35.00
       Availability: This title usually ships within 24 hours.
       Paperback (January 1998)
       Oxford Univ Press; ISBN: 0198700202 ;
       Dimensions (in inches): 0.82 x 9.64 x 7.41
       Amazon.com Sales Rank: 100,748
       Synopsis
       This comprehensive study aid to reading real German texts provides
       essentials for both students and specialists who have to develop a
       reading knowledge of German in order to study their core subject. The
       book includes further exercises, translation of authentic German texts,
       and an extensive reference section.

These both look like good titles to me. Heinle & Heinle, from the what I
know of them, publish many German language textbooks. Additionally, I know
that the professors at the University of Minnesota use textbooks primarily
from this publisher (this info is available at the UofM website,
http://www.umn.edu).

Cheers!
