HSK Standard Course 1 (Chinese and English Edition) https://www.amazon.com/dp/7561937091/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_AXA3BbER67J3Z
I don't think a textbook is essential in the later stages of learning Chinese (say, past intermediate) but I do think it is essential for the begginer and early intermediate stages to have some structure. Some might disagree with me, but this is my opinion. I recommend the Integrated Chinese series because that's what I used for my first three Chinese classes and it teaches you the most important radicals before moving on to the first chapter. By learning the most important radicals first you will recognize them in the characters you learn and it will improve your reading and writing too. I'm sure you can find it on Amazon. For an alternative textbook, you could try the HSK textbooks like this one below, which will help you prepare for the 汉语水平考试 or HSK. However, if you are planning to go to Taiwan then I recommend preparing for the TOCFL, the Test of Chinese as a Foreign Language. I'm currently preparing for HSK 5 and using their HSK 5 book. If you have any other questions please let me know!
