The book really helped me make sense of certain elements in German.
I started learning Hungarian when Netscape and Usenet ruled the internet, and also wanted to get a better sense of how and why Hungarian differed from the surrounding Indo-European languages. My university's research libraries were a goldmine for me to start figuring this out, and these books helped me not only to look increasingly at Hungarian on its own terms (or compare it to examples in Uralic languages rather than look for parallels in unrelated Indo-European languages), but when I eventually got around to learning Estonian, Finnish and Northern Saami, the knowledge gained from these books helped me to retain vocabulary and make sense of certain typological features in these three languages.
These books really came in handy once I started to learn other Slavonic languages after having studied Polish and Slovak to a useful level.
Nowadays you can get an overview of what I learned from these books on Uralic and Slavonic for free on Wikipedia articles and sometimes Wiktionary and online etymological dictionaries (e.g. Hungarian: Etimólogiai szótár, Russian: Этимологический словарь русского языка )
