Metzger's classic text in its revised edition is still a good approach to
TC of the NT.  If you prefer a more hands on approach, Jack Finegan's book
(more like a workbook) Encountering NT Mss. is still a good one.  It will
have a lot of black facsimilies in it, some from John I think.  Of course,
you could go with the Alands' Introduction, but many except the very
brightest could get lost in the intracies of his discussion.  I like the
tie in with other historical developments such as the canon.  I would think
that the students would be free to copy pages from any book that they use
as long as it is for their personal use and not for distribution.
