I had a thought recently that it would be nice to know which GM's have the
most miniatures against other Master to GM strength players.

One player noted for quick wins against the great was Jacques Mieses
(1865-1954), one of the 27 original GMs honored by FIDE in 1950. At
various times he beat Chigorin in 15 moves, Bogolyubov in 15, Gunsberg
in 18, Pillsbury in 22, Teichmann in 20, Rubinstein in 24, Schlechter
in 24, Tartakower in 25, and (at the age of 65!) Lilienthal in 16.
Here is one:

Mieses-Chigorin, Ostend 1906: 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Qg4!?
Qf6? 5.Nd5! Qxf2+ 6.Kd1 Kf8 7.Nh3 Qd4 8.d3 d6 9.Qh4 Bxh3 10.Qxh3 Na5
11.Rf1! Nxc4 12.Qd7! f6 13.Nxf6! Qf2 (if 13...Nxf6 14.Rxf6! gxf6
15.Bh6+ Kg8 16.Qg7#) 14.Rxf2 Bxf2 15.Nh5 1-0

Exactly who has the most such short wins, I can't say for sure.
Noted for _losing_ an unusual number of miniatures was the Dutch GM
Jan Hein Donner (1927-1988).

Had anyone seen any books or websites that may be devoted to this type of
info?

You might look into "The 1000 Best Short Games of Chess" by Irving
Chernev (Simon & Schuster, 1955). Easily available from online used-
book sellers. Checking its index, the names I see most often are
generally what one would expect: Alekhine, Anderssen, Capablanca,
Marshall, Mieses, Morphy, Nimzovitch, Soultanbeieff, Spielmann,
Steinitz, and Tarrasch. However, offhand I don't know what the caliber
of their opposition was in those games. Probably many were amateurs in
simuls.
