The second book is well worth while. It outlines some of the main areas of
debate remaining in PIE linguistics, with suggestions for solutions. In the
process it gives a good overview of PIE. I am ashamed to admit I don't
know the first book, but I don't think there's any reason to be cautious
about Lehmann. His scholarship is sound, and speculation is clearly marked
as speculation.
