I know of two books devoted to the historical references to Jesus
outside the NT. They are:

F.F. Bruce, _Jesus and Christian Origins Outside the New Testament_,
	Eerdmans 1974. Bruce is (was?) Rylands Professor of Biblical
	Criticism and Exegesis at the University of Manchester.

R. Joseph Hoffman, _Jesus Outside the Gospels_, Prometheus 1984.
	This one is useful for its extensive quotations from the
	documents in question.

Professor Bruce's book is out-of-print, but Hoffman's is still
available.
