Tocharian
Re: Tocharian
Well, if you've already requested it, why are you asking now?

Re: Tocharian
What's your fancy? There's no good, up to date handbook of Tocharian (A, B or A and B together) in English, so if that's what you're after, you're screwed. If you read French, however, Pinault's Chrestomathie tokharienne is excellent (it is hard to come by, though: I don't want to describe some of the things I did to get this on inter-library loan). I'm aware that there are decent enough treatments in German, but nothing more recent than the 60s. Try googling "Tocharian bibliography" and see if any of the titles grab you.
