IO540 has mentioned, a couple of times, the difference between studying to pass the test, and studying to fly in real IMC.
Although I agree, it's worth noting that Broomstick is specifically asking about study material to help him through the IMC course. To answer his question: Trevor Thom book 5 (ignore the first section, but the second and third sections are very helpful), and the IMC Confuser.
Just as the PPL is a license to learn to fly, and the driving license is a license to learn to drive, and so many other qualifications in life are just a license to start learning, so is the IMC rating a license to learn to fly in IMC. Once Broomstick has obtained the rating, if he is serious about flying in real IMC, his education will begin. He should then be looking to fly in IMC within his personal limits, fly in IMC with more experienced pilots or instructors below his personal limits in order to expand those limits, and also increase the size of his bookshelf with some more advanced books. But one step at a time - let him get the rating first.
