Does anybody have a link to Lehmann's A Grammar of Proto-Germanic?

Careful with this one- Hewson's tastes run towards the abstract, so he often reconstructs underlying forms that aren't actually attested anywhere, and sometimes he gets things wrong. I know this because I took him at face value before my conference paper this past weekend and now have some things to reconfigure. Pentland's been promising a comparative dictionary and grammar à la Brugmann for years, but a) it gets delayed every time a new dictionary comes out, and b) he's a nutter whose dictionary files are so old he's had his laptop reconfigured to run DOS so he can work on them. It's not a bad starting point, but it's difficult to figure out where it's right and where to depart from it without an extensive knowledge of the field.

Update:

I haven't looked at how well-seeded the torrent file is in months, but in case anyone doesn't want to deal with torrents, Grammar Pile 3.0 is on Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id= ... EllMzJBSEk

We haven't really worked much on expanding it much since July, but here is a small addenda folder (which will be periodically updated, hopefully) of new or improved grammars: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id= ... WppT3QyUFU

We've also been working on another collection, called the "Stack", which is for linguistics textbooks, surveys, typological studies, etc. It will also, hopefully, be periodically updated: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id= ... 214cnp5RjQ

Thank you! I have immediately bookmarked it.
