I use Beyer's Elementary Instruction tutor for beginners, another extensively used tutor that is inexpensive and pretty thorough. Bayer is all classicist but very easy to follow. It has technique and repertoire that is priceless for any beginner and for a good refresher too.

"Harmony at the Keyboard" by R.O.Morris, where you learn harmony playing the piano and end up playing Bach's Chorales and composing melodies and harmonies to thorough basses from some of the best classical composers, a discipline that is key to arrangement and composition.
