I learnt of much of their properties when looking at the stuff on microbundles. A very clear source for lots of that is J. Lurie, Spring 2009, Topics in Geometric Topology (18.937) , notes for course 18.937. Look on Jacob's website and you will find the course notes. After that look back at the Haupvermutung book.

For the open problems I have not that long ago seen a list from the topology atlas:

I hope this helps.
