No, I haven't.  I don't know of any such books; everything seems to focus 
either on biblical 
or non-biblical documents, virtually nothing on both.  The goal of my book 
was text-critical, 
and was intended to fill a gap by indexing biblical references in 
non-biblical documents as 
well as the purely biblical ones.  Garcia Martinez' two-volume study edition 
of the non-
biblical scrolls would be a good start for names and content, but I don't 
know of anything 
currently available for the biblical scrolls.  Everybody wants to do 
translations, not 
transcriptions.
