Jagdish C. Dave, Colloquial Gujarati (Routledge Trade, 1995, ISBN 0415091969)
Apparently a straightforward modern introduction to the language. The first few lessons use romanized transcriptions after which the book relies on the Gujarati script. Accompanying tapes are also available.
Rachel Dwyer, Gujarati: A Complete Course for Beginners (Teach Yourself, 1995, ISBN 0844237752)
Another straightforward modern introduction to Gujarati, also with tapes available. I hope to do a careful comparison between Dwyer and Dave soon.
H.M. Lambert, Gujarati Language Course (Cambridge U. Press, 1971)
Unfortunately Lambert uses romanized transcriptions throughout, except for a separate section on the Gujarati script. On the plus side, I was able to get tapes for it from the language lab at the University of Texas at Austin.
Usha Nair, An Intensive Course in Gujarati (Mysore: Central Institute of Indian Languages, 1991)
A fat volume of exercises with little or no grammatical analysis. Uses Gujarati script and devanagari (not roman) transcription throughout, together with English translations. Probably quite useful in the context for which it was intended, teaching Gujarati to secondary school teachers already familiar with one or more North Indian languages, but probably not very useful for solo study or for non-Indian students.
