Here is a reliable site [ http://www.gotica.de/ ] where you can see, 
among other things, Busbeque's letter in the original Latin, 
together with an extensive bibliography.  This, as far as I know, is 
the only evidence now available for what Crimean Gothic was like.  
Here [ http://www.geocities.com/erwan-ar-skoul/gothmod.htm ] is a 
list of words from that letter with definitions in English.

MacDonald Stearns, Crimean Gothic. Analysis and Etymology of the 
Corpus, Saratoga (Calif.) 1978. (Studia Linguistica et Philologica 6)

MacDonald Stearns, Das Krimgotische. In: Heinrich Beck (Hrsg.), 
Germanische Rest- und Trümmersprachen, Berlin / New York 1989, 175–
194 (RGA Ergänzungsband 3).

Ottar Grønvik, Die dialektgeographische Stellung des Krimgotischen 
und die krimgotische cantilena, Oslo 1983.

Of these I've only seen Grønvik's article which is very 
interesting.  It carefully argues that the language we call "Crimean 
Gothic" shares some early sound changes with West Germanic, but 
underwent later changes in common with Biblical Gothic.  I'm sure 
there must be other useful sites on the internet somewhere hidden 
amongst the rubbish.
