I greatly appreciate the scholarly discussions that this list hosts. I have 
learned much and am determined to learn more about textual criticism. I 
hope, therefore, I am not intruding upon substantive discussions when I ask a 
question or two that may help me in this endeavor.

Can someone recommend a book that is a good introduction to the discipline. 
Preferably one that is offered by CBD or another popular mail order company 
(I'm not near a decent library that carries such things). I've already read 
THE TEXT OF THE NT by the Alands.

How about a source that offers transcripts of the more important early mss?

Finally, I've enjoyed the discussion concerning the James 2:18 XWRIS/EK 
issue. But what I don't understand is this: If this is a topic worthy of such 
scholarly attention, why then does the UBS-4 not mention it as a variant while 
it does list multiple variants of vs. 19, EIS ESTIN O QEOS, none of which 
(as best as I can tell) result in any interpretive difference? 

(I'm only in my first year of Greek, so be gentle!)
