Another useful book dealing with Crimean Gothic (as hard to find as the others, I'm afraid):
 
André Rousseau (ed.). 1991. _Sur les traces de Busbecq et du gotique_. Presses Universitaires de Lille.
 
It contains a collection of articles -- all in French this time -- half of which are devoted to the life and deeds of Ogier Ghislain de Busbecq (the 16th-century Flemish diplomat to whom we owe whatever information we have on Crimean Gothic), and the other half are concerned with the Goths and various aspects of the Gothic language with special (but not exclusive) emphasis on the Crimean variety.
 
I have a graduate student who specialises in Gothic. Perhaps she will know of other (hopefully more accessible) sources. I'll ask her.
