Well, you could contact the site's owner Harald Hammarström, and request a
cd-or-dvd copy of the contents of his web site - I've done that, and he
doesn't bite.  He's interested in getting as much public domain and creative
commons grammars available on-line as possible.

And the site's got a copy of an old Esperanto grammar, and a few reconstructed
root-and-stem language grammars, so he's probably willing to put partial and
full conlang grammars online as well.

Give it a go.
