Piano Books for newbies

[ThomasBecket]

Christmas greetings:

I am interested in returning to the piano after a 15 year absense.  I used to play it when I was in high school.  I was wondering if someone could recommend a book or a series that would take one through in a structured, self taught course.  Preferably with classical pieces as examples, because I have no desire to learn modern stuff.

Thanks

Thomas

I don't know if I posted this before on this site but I'll say it here anyway.  I like the Alfred Basic Adult All-in-One Piano Course.  There are three books and CDs that go with the first two books.  You can order from a place like sheetmusicplus.com
(Actually, you have to make sure it's the book/CD combo you're ordering.  When you do a search on the site, you'll only see maybe one of ones you're looking for pop up.  Then you have to click on the right one to see a description of it and links that go to the other ones in the series.)

Even though I like that I just ordered eMedia keyboard & piano method.  You can order a Connections "MIDI to sound card" cable and the eMedia CD-ROM from Kelly's Music & Computers (they ship from the US or Canada).  You can plug that cable to the joystick port on your computer.  I checked with HP to verify that.  I can't wait until it arrives.  There are 70 video demonstrations and 316 lessons.  The Alfred Course above only has close to 200 lessons.
