I could help you there:
Jason Brazile's Bossa Nova Trans. (http://www.etc.ch/~jason/tabs.html)
Bossa Nova Guitar (http://bossanovaguitar.com/bossa_nova_words_music.html)
Another bossa page with okay method lesson (http://bossanovaguitar.net/)
Just a caveat: some of the keys/chords are incorrect in some of the transcriptions. Enjoy.

For the jazz book request, good chord comping methods would also be appreciated. Thanks.
