I believe it's still in print, from MIT Press.  My 10-year-old copy has the
ISBN 0-262-13011-4.  They are, at the very least, a good place to start.

Rich Alderson   You know the sort of thing that you can find in any dictionary
                of a strange language, and which so excites the amateur philo-
                logists, itching to derive one tongue from another that they
                know better: a word that is nearly the same in form and meaning
                as the corresponding word in English, or Latin, or Hebrew, or
                what not.
