This is a large (more than 800pp) collection of essays on textual criticism related to New Testament texts, fairly up-to-date in the second version. It’s also probably one of the best essay collections I have read. As long as you’re already familiar with the introductory matters (i.e., you’ve read the intro text by Metzger and Ehrmann or the one by the Alands), this will bring you up to speed with the major issues. I read through this essay by essay, but will be obvious that its real value is as a reference.
