Could you guys please help me find some good material and provide me with some NLHE book recommendations for a beginning losing player?
Aimed at readers who are already familiar with the rules and the different variations of hold em, and wants to become a winning player.
Thanks in advance.

For me ,crushing the micros' and ,modern small stakes' from Nathan Blackrain79 Williams are the books who made me a winning player at NL2-NL10 (only available as ebooks)

The micro book of his u can get cheaply from anywhere as a book. It is for loose passive full ring games and probably worth a read for such shorthanded games also. Other than that, it is a pass. I dont know what the next level book would be the best, read two more and will read a couple more but none of them make things simple enough, and wont cover all needed, so i just collect the stuffs and then cut the corners, having done so for preflop and flop betting so far but the rest is still lacking.

I would also like to recommend crushing the micros by Blackrain79, it is very straightforward and covers almost everything a beginner should know at micro level games.

Crushing the Micros is worth reading for a losing player as it will stop you losing. After that I'd just read Ed Miller's Small Stakes NL or Easy Game.

Is Ed Miller's Small Stakes NL applicable to microstakes though?

Yes. It was written a while ago (I should've said Miller, Mehta and Flynn), so the advice purported to apply to 200NL now applies more to 5NL-10NL.

Poker math that matters into Hole Card Confessions.
Crushing the micros is ok, but won't let you understand why you're doing the things your doing.

For Low Stake Live games, the books that helped me and enjoyed reading were:
- Winning Low-Limit Hold'em - Lee Jones (although this book is based around Limit Hold'em)
- No-Limit Hold'em Hand by Hand: Learn to Beat the Ultimate Poker Game - Neil Myers
