I haven't read Beekes yet, but I did read Szemerényi,
and he's too conservative for my taste (especially his
attempts to posit as few laryngeals as possible, at all
costs). As for Brugmann, he's of course out of date
and mainly of historical value. A book that looks very
good to me hasn't been mentioned here yet:
Benjamin W. Fortson IV, _Indo-European Language and Culture:
an Introduction_.
