Just learned about Esperanto, I am pretty excited about trying to learn it, I just don't know where to start.
Any one know of any good manuals or workbooks that would be helpful, in addition to this website?

You could use/buy the "Step by Step in Esperanto" by Montagu C. Butler (big help to me) another book i use periodically is the "Teach Youself Esperanto" not my favourite but works well enough imo. hope this helps

These books are old, but the great thing about Esperanto is that it really hasn't changed that much over the years. New roots may have been added, but the core vocabulary and entire grammar has remained constant for over a century, so these books are still just fine to learn from.
If you're looking for printed books, the Esperanto-USA site (previously the Esperanto League of North America, or ELNA) online bookstore has lots and lots of titles. I personally learned from "Teach Yourself Esperanto", as I know many others on this forum also did.

Richardson, which has background reading as well as being a good textbook, containing a good selection of reading passages. I suspect ELNA would recommend this one.
Jen Nia Mondo, parts 1 and 2 is good for conversational Esperanto, with accompanying CDs, though one of the speakers in part 1 has a definite British accent.
Butler's Step by Step is a bit too heavy for beginners except very committed ones, IMHO.
The late Don Harlow maintained a website on E-o books which is worthwhile for reference. It comments on all the ones mentioned here:

Welcome and may you derive the great pleasure from learning Esperanto which I and so many others have!
I second the recommendation of the postal course and also of Richardson's book. I especially like Richardson's book - Esperanto: Learning and Using the International Language. I am currently working my way through translating the Esperanto reading selections in the second part of the book. The book's dictionary is almost worth the price of admission in and of itself!
