Neeru,

You haven't stated your preferred language, but I can answer for English versions.

  Teach Yourself Sanskrit by Micheal Coulson is available online in PDF form for free, from:

https://ia800205.us.archive.org/1/items/TeachYourselfSanskrit/Teach%20Yourself%20Sanskrit.pdf

It is written in English, for English speakers, but despite its subtitle 'a complete course for beginners' a fair knowledge of English Grammar is assumed, as you can see for yourself.

However, if you are thinking of the English language translation of The tested Easiest method... series, published originally in Delhi,
A commercial hardback copy can be had from the UK, at least, from

Neeru,

I have read this book in parts. All  I can say is it is very hard to learn Sanskrit from this book. It seems to be  written for an audience who is familiar with grammatical terminology. Not just basic knowledge of  grammatical categories but far  more than that.

Also, this book initially mixes transliterated Sanskrit with Devanagari, however in later chapters it is almost always transliterated text. It seems to me that  the opposite way of introducing Sanskrit with transliterated text and

later having only Devanagari text would have made  more sense. A person who has studied the classical languages of Europe (viz. Latin and Ancient Greek) may find it ideal to learn Sanskrit from this book but most of us don't fit that category.

Also, I understand that the author never got a chance to take the book through the press as he committed suicide before it was published. It seems to have been completed (??) and published by his colleagues.
