Any idea where one could buy a copy of the book? It was published by the Asociación de Amigos de Écija, but their website doesn't offer it for sale. No ISBN number appears for the book anywhere I have looked....
When the Amigos told me it was out of print, we started to phone the bookshops in Éjica. Everybody knows Paco, seems to be a local celebrity. One of the bookshops spoke to him and he said he would speak to the Association.
But another bookshop said he had a copy on the shelf. Simple?? The owner of the bookshop was on paternity leave and seems he had left his great grandfather to look after the shop, who said he knew nothing about credit card, posting etc.
However, he must have called for help, as the phone rang while we were having a siesta, so now the books are on their way (he had 2 copies). They cost me 30 euros including postage. One is for you if you want it.
The Paco Peña you are thinking of is he who used to buy guitars from Gerundino at low prices and sell them in London for a handsome profit
So Paco Peña was ripping off both Gerundino and his students (or whoever he sold them to)? That's a quite an accusation....
Pepe Martinez used to do more or less the same with Reyes guitars (used to buy from Reyes and sell in UK, not sure if he bought for "low prices" or made a "handsome profit").

Many thanks for the Quiko Peña book, Morante! It arrived yesterday, including a bonus, the CD "José Millán en Directo," produced and designed by Morante.
I have just begun to dip into the book, and I have yet to listen to the CD, so I will comment later.
¡Por fin! Took a long time: seems like Austin Texas is a long way from Cádiz España
A special case of the circumstance that the USA is a long (and expensive) way from Europe via mail. When I order books, sheet music or CDs from Europe, it sometimes takes weeks to arrive, and the cost of shipping is often near that of the merchandise itself.
