Another book I wanted to mention is volume 17 of the Smithsonian Institution's _Handbook of North American Indians_. It is perhaps prohibitively expensive for many people to buy ( > $100) but it's often found in public libraries (in my experience in the US). It has description of 12 languages (about 30 pages each) plus a lot of other linguistic info.
