I agree. Still authored a very fine textbook though.


His material is certainly good, I just have trouble getting past his cornballery.


Aside from textbooks, perhaps incorporate some DVDs from Sporty's. Some of Richard Collins IFR videos are pretty good for learning purposes at any stage.
 
The FAA's Instrument Procedures Handbook, recently updated. It fills in the holes with great "why" info. A good source for experienced pilots. Different from the FAA's Instrument Flying Handbook
 
My only beef with the FAA's material is that it weighs in so heavily towards the "primary-supporting" method rather than the "control-performance" method of basic attitude flying, which I personally feel is teaching an emergency technique as the primary way of flying light GA IFR, but that's a whole 'nother thread. However, at least the FAA matarial now does include the c/p method, even if it's given relatively short shrift.
