In reply to Mark E. Burrill:

Greetings!

Much like you, I am in the learning phases of TC and becoming quite 
addicted!  It is pleasant to be able to be of help to another student.  

A book which should be readily available and provide a good introduction 
is "Introduction to New Testament Textual Criticism" in the revised 
edition by J. Harold Greenlee (Peabody, MA:Hendrickson,1995).  This 
will only cost you $12.50.

MSS can be explored in:
"Encountering New Testament Manuscripts" by Jack Finegan (Grand Rapids: 
Eerdmans, 1974).

"Manuscripts of the Greek Bible" by Bruce Metzger (NY:Oxford University 
Press, 1981).

Next I would suggest "The Text of the New Testament" by Metzger (3rd 
edition, NY:Oxford University Press 1992).

By then you would be ready for "Studies in the Theory and Method of New 
Testament Textual Criticism" by Eldon J. Epp and Gordon D. Fee (Grand 
Rapids:Eerdmans, 1993).

Enjoy!
