this book is completely and utterly terrible, most of the "transcriptions" bear no relation to the original pieces and those that do are in the wrong key.
I think they were either "transcribed" by a computer, or more likely by ear by someone with no knowledge of flamenco guitar. some of them are more or less accurate but didn't realise the capo was on fret 2 or 3,so are in wrong key. If you can sightread and transpose at sight maybe that's ok, but if you want tabs, forget it.
Don't spend money on it. It should be banned. (someone gave it to me, i kept it for a bit as didn't want to appear ungrateful, then put it in the trash where it belonged).

Also, Amazon has several books of PDL sheet music scores, but they're pretty expensive.

these are expensive, but at least they are closer to what is actually on the recordings. The Canizares transcription of Fuente Y Caudal is most accurate in my opinion (he should have done them all). The first one is a bit hit and miss but alright (the pitches are not too bad, but time values a bit odd at times, and it is not "Fabulosa Guitarra" in it's entirety, but half of that and half of "Duende Flamenco"). For early PDL go for the first 2 books.
or buy the camaron one quote:

or contact "Affedis", although they don't advertise PDL tabs anymore if you ask nicely you can still buy them. expensive, but cheaper if you buy 3 or more.

When I said that book "looks pretty good," all I had seen was a picture of the cover, and I had no idea what the contents were, merely that it had Paco solos with tabs. Now that you have described the contents, it's exactly as I have seen in many other cases, where whoever did the transcribing didn't know flamenco. Also I have several books of sheet music transcriptions of Sabicas solos, and the imbecile who transcribed them did exactly the same thing you mention – transcribed it from music that had been played with a cejilla on the third or fourth fret, and so instead of the proper key, you get something like five sharps, etc., and I can think of things I'd rather do than sight read and transpose.
The book I found in Sam Ash has the following – I'll give it by palo and also by title in case anyone is looking for something in particular that they know by name. Incidentally, it turns out that the book does have tabs along with sheet music.
The book is "La Fabulosa Guitarra de Paco de Lucia – Partituras - Mel Bay Publications – Publication #MB20983
Barrio la Vina – Alegrias
De Madrugo – Siguiriyas
Farruca – no title
Impetu – Mario Escudero's famous Bulerias
Jerezana – Bulerias
Llanto a Cadiz – Tientos
Punta del Faro – Bulerias
Punta Umbra – Fandango de Huelva
I was in between lessons, and barely had time to copy this down, so I didn't get a chance to play through any of this, and so I can't comment on the contents, but all of them are fairly long, so there's a lot of music there. Whenever I can find the time I'll go back and play through the book and give a report.
Ramon

Hi akatune, the book you are asking about 'PDL Tocando a Camaron, etude de style' by Claude Worms, is a collection of falsetas from early Camaron recordings, extracted here on the accompanying CD. They are very similar to the earlier Scores-on-line tabs for the Fosforito anthology (see here: http://www.score-on-line.com/freescores.php?collection=flamenco ), in that they may contain a meaure or two of chordal accompaniment (un compas de compas) , but they are not designed to teach the entire arrangement. However, armed with the falsetas and a good ear, it should not be very hard to connect the dots. You might want to check out the book 'Camaron' by David Leiva, these purport to transcribe some entire arrangements, and many of the examples provided are from the 'traditional' era.
