I'm surprised that I ran in to this. I got it a while ago to help me start out, but I had to put off Korean because I am studying some other languages in college.
You guys can read reviews here.
I only have the TTMIK Level 1 workbook and use it with their free PDF's and audio recordings (not sure about their grammar books). I would recommend that you take advantage of their free resources first before buying the workbook. It's a bit sparse compared to what you would find in, say, traditional school textbooks like the Sogang Korean or Ehwa.
Also if you live in a city that has an online e-book library, you can probably borrow some TTMIK e-books online through Overdrive. I was able to request a few of them at my own library.
Recently I switched over to this book and it covers a lot more than TTMIK. Be sure to read the reviews and click the "look inside" link on Amazon to see if you'll like it.
Go Billy's book "Korean Made Simple" is a lot better. http://www.amazon.com/Korean-Made-Simple-beginners-learning-ebook/dp/B00JHT4PCE
IMO most books made by Korean people aren't good for beginners because they lack a native English speakers clear explanation of things. A lot of the ones I've seen just jump in using Korean even for the directions. Counter-intuitive if you ask me.
