Nothing wrong in wanting to be recognized for the hard work you put in. That being said, however, most National Judo organizations have a set minimum time frame you must be in Judo before you can grade for a black belt. I believe the minimum is 3 years, at least that's what it is in Canada. As well, although there are many similarities between judo and wrestling, there are also many many more differences. Posture, how to use strength, etc. But I have known many wrestlers who transitioned to judo very nicely.
As far as books go, the #1 book I always recommend is "Kodokan Judo: The Essential Guide to Judo" https://www.amazon.ca/Kodokan-Judo-Essential-Guide-Founder/dp/156836539X

I also bought this book when I first started judo and I found it very helpful:

Hopefully this helps! Judo is really fun and after I stopped wrestling I went to Judo and never looked back! Enjoy the journey my friend :)

Kodokan Judo is a great book.

I can personally highly recommend Mastering Judo by the Takahashi Family.

This is one of my favourite judo books. Of course Kodokan Judo by Jigoro Kano is a staple in most dojos.

I've heard of people recommending the Masterclass series, although they're damn expensive.

Myself, I'm debating buying these books because people around me seem to hold them in high esteem. Also, they're Canadian.
