Hi, I was going through that excellent book to learn Sanskrit by Coulson. 
In it, he does state that pronounciation of R is neither ri nor ru, but 
in between.  In fact, he gives examples of how it should sound.  many of 
us have heard Americans here utter the word "pretty" as pRDi without 
sounding the vowel e.  In a similar manner, they utter the word 
"interesting" without sounding the vowel e before and after r as intRsting.  
These pronounciations approximate to what I mentioned yesterday.  

The Sanskrit douments are available at

They can also be obtained via ftp.
