Monographs aren't really a thing in NLP, beyond theses. There are a couple of reference books most people lean on, though:

* Foundations of Statistical Natural Language Processing by Manning and Schütze

* Speech and Language Processing by Jurafsky and Martin (which is being revised for a third edition, which you can look at: https://web.stanford.edu/~jurafsky/slp3/ )

Beyond that, you're basically stuck reading the research literature. On the up-side, most of that literature is freely available from the ACL anthology at http://aclweb.org/anthology/

Thank you very much. I'm aware of a large number of books that I could read, but if Sturgeon's law applies, or at least if a lot of the reading would be redundant anyway, I'll rather ask for pointers than to waste a lot of time by rediscovering the wheel. Basically, what I was asking for was the NLP's respected equivalent of Norvig and Russell, or similar books from other fields. Those two books seem to fit to bill.
