Although it does not cover specifically koiné, some list members may 
be interested in this new book on the syntax of Classical Greek:

Crespo Güemes, Emilio; Conti, Luz; Maquieira, Helena. (2003). 
Sintaxis del griego clásico. Madrid. XI + 502 pp. Hardcover. (In 
Spanish)

It is a reader-friendly introduction to the syntax of Classical Greek 
intended mainly for University students, written from a functional 
perspective (a functionalism closer to Dik's than to Givon's, for 
instance), but with the Classical philologist in mind, and it is much 
more descriptive than speculative. Very clearly written, it avoids 
all non indispensable jargon and gives well chosen examples, all of 
them translated into Spanish. The ordering of the contents is not 
quite the traditional arrangement one may find in classical manuals 
like Kuehner-Gerth, Schwyzer, Smyth, or Krueger-Poekel-Cooper, but 
readers may find it preferable at least for a number of syntactic 
questions. It contains indexes of Greek words, main concepts and loci 
citati.
