A tool that can not be missing in your "epigraphic toolbox" is the Guide de l'epigraphiste.In order to help epigraphers and "uninitiated" audience to approach epigraphy and to deal with the technicalities of such subject, a group of French scholars undertook the project of a Bibliographie choisie des épigraphies antiques et médiévales, as the self-explanatory subtitle clarifies.Published for the first time in 1986,   updated  in a second edition in 1989 and in 2000 in its third edition, the guide contains a carefully selected bibliographical apparatus, with brief comments on individual works, a methodological introduction and a rich series of indices.This fourth edition contains 2975 items, with titles published between 2000 and 2010.Online, among other documents, you can find the available updates on June 2011, June 2012, and recently posted June 2013 too.Enjoy!
