Pompeii - Have Any Manuscripts Or Books Been Found There?

I thought I read that there were some carbonized books that they were trying to carefully unroll. They were hoping that they might find works by famous authors that we don't already have. Is there a website that would say what they've found?

You're probably thinking of the Villa of Papyri at Herculaneum, which was buried when Vesuvius erupted the same a Pompeii was.
