A linguist could probably come up with a good reference for a comparative work. I mostly had to dig into some of this stuff when working on Dutch and German NLP, but I am by no means a linguist. For Dutch I found this book very helpful:

It also has comparisons to German spread throughout the book. (Full disclosure: former colleague of mine.)

If you can read Dutch, the E-ANS is also a very valuable resource:

E.g., description of topological fields:
