Where are statutes published?
Statutes are published in a series of texts known as code books. Each state has their own set. For example, Georgia statutes are published in the Official Code of Georgia, or OCGA. The federal system also has their own set, known as the United States Code, or U.S.C. The sets can be found at any law library. Many colleges and universities maintain law libraries that are open to students and alumni, and many courthouses have law libraries open to the public. Statutes can also be found through online research tools, such as Westlaw or LexisNexis which cater to web based legal research. Some statutes can also be found at free online locations, but are often not updated as frequently.

How many courts in the US have judicial review?
It would be impossible to ascribe an exact number to answer your question. All courts of general jurisdiction have the power of judicial review, but the final arbiter of federal law and the US Constitution is the US Supreme Court, and the final arbiter of state statutes and the state constitution is the state supreme court (or equivalent), unless the state statutes or constitution conflict with the US Constitution over issues that could be considered federal questions.
Who creates statutes?
It depends on where you live. The short answer is usually, in a republic, such as in the United States, statutes are created by the legislature and the executive. At the federal level, Congress and the President create federal laws/statutes. Laws are usually organized as follows: A constitution sets the highest law. Then, statutes follow the constitution. Constitutions usually state how statutes are created. Many states only allow the elected representatives (the legislature) to propose and sign-off on bills. These bills are given to the executive to sign. If the executive vetos the bill, the bill goes back to the legislature, which can then vote, usually by super-majority, to override the veto. Once a bill is passed by the legislature and executive, or by the legislature over the executive's veto, it become a law. That law is codified in a statute book for easy reference. In states, like Florida, the law itself is what needs to be followed, not the statute, which is merely a copy of the law and a codified version of the law. That being said, laws are often created with statutes in mind, and might reference the statute itself when making additions or deletions to the law.
