I've done a lot of Amazon reviews, over 830 at this point, but I still
haven't review Sihler's _New Comparative Grammar of Greek and Latin_
since it's just so substantial that one never exhausts its
offerings. The presentation of the PIE verb is the best around, and
does talk much about the possible antecedents of the verbal morphology
we can reconstruct. (BTW, despite the title, it's not limited to Greek
and Latin and is basically a full IE handbook.)

Then you're at odds with just about everyone who has given it a
serious review. They all say it doesn't come close to being a
replacement for Buck's book of the same name, as was intended.

What is "that rather shoddy one published by de Gruyter"?

I've just been asked for the writing-systems chapter in an immense IE
"Handbook" in that immense series of immense Handbooks that de Gruyter
has been churning out for the past decade or so. (But this one is to
be entirely in English.)
