I have neither seen nor heard of this book, but have recently been 
reading in another book by the same author, Joseph B. Voyles. The 
book is called "Early Germanic Grammar (Pre-, Proto-, and Post- 
Germanic Languages)". It was published in 1992 and cover changes 
from Pre-Germanic Indo-European into Proto- and Post-Germanic, 
Gothic, Norse, Old English, Old Frisian, Old Saxon, and Old High 
German. There is also an appendix where the author sets forth some 
paradigms for Germanic nouns, adjectives, adverbs, numerals, 
pronouns and verbs. The book is in my opinion a fine work and highly 
informative. I would be interested in discussing its contents with 
any other list members who happen to have read it. As regards the 
title which you mention, I will keep an eye out for it during my 
next trip to the library. If I find the book, then I will read it 
and try to post some kind of overview of its contents for you and 
the other list members. Any references to or descriptions of other 
interesting titles in this area of research would be appreciated. I 
am interested in almost anything relating to the oldest periods of 
Germanic linguistic history. I will look for the Voyles book.

Regards,
Konrad.
