What is the name of this book?

Question

The book was either written by two men or the author talked about him and his colleague. It was a non-fiction, kind of science or philosophical book. The first couple chapters were in regards to the dead sea scrolls and how the two of them went around the world gathering information about the scrolls as a beginning to their research. I think it had a blue-ish paperback cover and about 500 pages.
It is driving me crazy that I cannot think of the title.

Answer 3

Not the Dead Sea Scrolls, right? That's too obvious. Maybe the Nag Hammadi Library in English?

Answer 4

Ummm... Random amazon search produced this for me:

480 pages, written by two men? Hope this helped.
