Hall's major works on the reconstruction of Proto-Romance were published in several sequential volumes; the phonology volume in 1976, the morphology volume in 1984.  Those are actually volumes 2 and 3 of a larger comparative Romance grammar that included an initial volume on the external history of the Romance languages in 1974. I do not know if the books have remained in print, but I have seen used copies floating around for sale (with widely varying prices).

There was also a fairly well-known 1950 article by Hall, "The reconstruction of proto-romance" (Language, 26.1) that sort of prefigured all the rest of his work in this area.

Cheers,
