I stumbled upon them a while ago, and I know I at least bookmarked them, but unfortunately I don't think I actually saved them. His page does say to email him for newer versions - does anyone know if that means he will send you draft PDFs, or is he likely to just give you information on purchasing the book?
Dunno -- I did save PDFs from not too many months back, so I've just hung on to those while I wait to see how the book is when it comes out. Much like the Sihler grammar, there's lots of good PIE info in Weiss's stuff.
I did mail to ask about publication, rather than the PDFs, and this was the reply:
Anyhow, I'm sending it to my publisher (Beechstave Press, Ann Arbor) this January. Look for it to come out toward the end of 2007.

Also, I'm trying to remember the conlang I read about that was a fairly Latin-like IE language, and it had modern forms parallelling the Romance languages.
Ooo, fun -- if you (or anyone) remembers what it's called, do please pass any info along. I'd like to see what others have done. (I'm doing my work on this in aid of a fiction project, so mostly concerning myself with elements for proper names and specific terminology. Dodging the need to worry about verbs speeds things up ;) but I'm still a very slow worker!)
