Reddit reviews Schaum's Outline of French Grammar, 5ed (Schaum's Outline Series)

I'm using quite a few in hard copy:

Outline of French Grammar and PDF.

The Alter Ego textbook, which I picked up when I was taking classes. Not incredibly important, but it was nice to have some structure. Lessons are scenario based (Family, festivals, seasons etc) and try and introduce a bit of French culture.

An older version of this verb conjugation book. It's a convenient way to learn and look up new verbs. Conjugating verbs in French sucks, this made it suck less.

And a French-English dictionary from Collins.

Keep in mind that I was taking classes, so many of these were supplementary. Didn't need to do the heavy lifting by myself.

If you really want to do it by yourself, you could start by looking at these, which are online course things structured for beginners.
