A minor note: Christopher Tuckett's review refers to Alessandro Falcetta as "she" but he was most definitely a man when I last saw him (Marinus de Jonge and I examined his PhD on J. Rendel Harris at the University of Birmingham).
Falcetta's book is probably the best among those reviewed. After all, Harris was a giant whose works are not as ephemeral as the latest and greatest tend to be. But this newly published collection would have been more attractive a few years ago. Currently most (albeit not all) of the essays in it are available in text archive and google books. Between all these options (not just for Harris but other greats from a century ago) today's NT students have a positively enormous wealth of resources available. It will never happen, but I tend to think that if a budding scholar made up his mind to read only works published before 1940 he might well find that the benefits gained by focusing his research only on works that have proven their high quality over time would outweigh the detriment of outdatedness.
