Hello! What books should I use to study polyatomic molecules (from a physics perspective, more than chemistry)? Is there an equivalent to Brown and Carrington for polyatomic molecules? Thank you!

There’s always Herzberg’s 4-volume monster: Molecular Spectra and Molecular Structure. If you’re only interested in vibrational structure, the book Molecular Vibrations by Wilson, Decius, and Cross is a classic (and a Dover book, so nice and cheap).
