[James Read <J.Read-2 AT sms.ed.ac.uk>]

What I would be interested in at the moment would be a complete  
listing of MSS both biblical and non biblical. Some sort of catalogue  
that logs the name, content and location of each and every MSS. This  
would be a very useful starting point for building an online database  
of digital MSS. Have you written any books like that?
