For Cakavian, there is a monograph by Milan Mogus "Cakavsko narjecje" (1977)
but that's only phonology. Currently, another Croatian dialectologist (Josip
Lisac) is writing a survey of Croatian dialectology - untill now, only the
first part, about Stokavski is published (Hrvatska dijalektologija 1, 2003).
