Alder's textbook is freely available through Google Books, and may be downloaded. Search for it using the terms "Adler Latin Perpetual", although you do not need to read the textbook to use this audio lesson.

OTHER USEFUL BOOKS FOR DOWNLOADING
Not everyone lives in a place where textbooks are easy to obtain, and some students are strapped for cash so:

The Key to Adler's Grammar is also a useful text, and this can be found on google books as well. The title is " A Key to the Exercises Contained in Adler's Practical Grammar of the Latin Language, prepared by the author" Published in 1858. The scan on google books is of excellent quality.

Another useful text that is useful as an adjunct to Adler for technical information, which you can find on Google Books, is Hickie's "Latin Grammar, compiled from the best editions of the Roman Classics, adapted for the mode of teaching by Termination". 1828. The text is accented, which is useful, and it is accurately accented, which is even more useful. You can find it by using the search words "latin termination grammar hickie" in the book search. The scan on google books is also good throughout.


If you need a dictionary, then Entick's Latin dictionary can be downloaded from google books. The 1834 edition, if I recall correctly, is the clearest, google books has more than one edition of this work available, pick the most recent one. This is for Latin to english only. If you search on google books for "tyronis entick" you'll obtain the dictionary at the top of the list.

For English to Latin, Riddle and Arnold's Dictionary is useful. A search for " Riddle Latin Dictionary" brings it to the top of the list.
