The Brazilian Guitar Book by Nelson Faria is great for learning the style. https://www.amazon.com/Brazilian-Guitar-Book-SHER-Music-ebook/dp/B0BGQP3NF2/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3O4RC3K0YWQBC&keywords=the+brazilian+guitar+book+by+nelson+faria&qid=1668754343&sprefix=brazilian+guitar+book%2Caps%2C81&sr=8-1

The Brazilian Guitar Book is a good resource but nothing replaces going straight to the source. The best way to learn is through the recordings. I would recommend starting with Getz/Gilberto by, you guessed it, João Gilbert & Stan Getz (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7gp579CMkT8Bx7wrlczLUZ-AZApsyFUk)
If you want to get the right hand rhythm down, João Gilberto is the guy to listen to. Here's another one of his albums (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDb0Vf3ZEkbnP2rF4ER8O0_HNAWqZk_Mj)
