The Indo-European Languages presents a comprehensive survey of the individual languages and language subgroups within this language family. With over four hundred languages and dialects and almost three billion native speakers, the Indo-European language family is the largest of the recognized language groups and includes most of the major current languages of Europe, the Iranian plateau and the Indian subcontinent. Written by an international team of experts, this comprehensive, single-volume tome presents in-depth discussions of the historical development and specialized linguistic features of the Indo-European languages. This unique resource remains the ideal reference for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of Indo-European linguistics and languages, but also for more experienced researchers looking for an up-to-date survey of separate Indo-European branches. It will be of interest to researchers and anyone with an interest in historical linguistics, linguistic anthropology and language development.… (more)

A nice overview of Proto-Indo-European and of the ten main branches in their earliest well-attested forms (so ancient classical languages for Italic, Indic, etc, but essentially the modern language for Albanian).

The second edition adds brief introductory chapters for Indo-Iranian and Balto-Slavic, but otherwise there isn't much attention paid to subgrouping.
