I did a little google searching and found [this book] (http://www.amazon.com/Textual-Criticism-Quran-Manuscripts-Keith/dp/0739177532) which seems relevant to your question. I'd also check out the Journal of Qur'anic Studies which, from my observation, has received praise. It certainly exists.

Like I said, there isn't much, and your ability to read them will depend on your capabilities. Keith Small's Textual Criticism and Qur'an Manuscripts is one example of an effort to apply textual critical studies to the Quran as well as Quranic Studies: Sources and Methods of Scriptural Interpretation which is a much more difficult read, but even more foundational (or you could even go and track down Geiger's original work, "Was Hat Mohammed aus dem Judentume Aufgenommen?" (Bonn, 1834)).

Islam is no different here from Christianity and Judaism, there are textual variants present in earlier manuscripts making the reconstruction of the original text impossible.

>Are you not aware of the History of both the Quran and the ahadith?

Well aware. It appears that you aren't.

There is no full manuscript that is from the time of the Prophet, and our first fragments of hadith collections come much later.

I have read many books on this topic, for example:

Unless you want purely faith-promoting works, I suggest looking at the academic side of Quranic studies:
You can read some interesting articles in the Journal of Qur'anic Studies by Edinburgh University Press.
Keith Small’s Textual Criticism and the Qur’an Manuscripts looks at small textual variants over the centuries. It hasn’t been updated yet with the recent find of one of the oldest known text that was found.
Another academic scholar to look into is Christopher Luxenberg (who writes under a pseudonym due to death threats) that looks at the Quran through textual and linguistics analysis. His book most popular book is The Syro-Aramaic Reading of the Koran: A Contribution to the Decoding of the Language of the Quran.
For history, Patricia Crone’s Hagarism: The Making of the Islamic World and From Arabia Tribes to Islamic Empire are very good. She summarized much of her research here.
