Was about to recommend this one too, it's not cheap though but worth every penny IMO. You can also get it direct from the Tesduo Farm in Germany, and ask for it in English -

Good grief! (I've toned that down from what I actually said).
I think it may be out of print now but thats a lot of money, might have to sell my copy.
