How about the 501 ___ Verbs series? It's probably simpler and easier
to find than Ahmed's manual. I've only used the German version, but
amazon.com lists also Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Latin,
Russian, Japanese, and Hebrew.
It's a hopefully guess, but in the German guide, pronounciation is
broken down very nicely into vowels, dipthongs, and consonants. When
needed, there are instructions such as "with lips forward and rounded."
Each sound has several approximate English equivalents and examples of
German words that include it. It's also a quick Xerox of the 3 pages.
