Yes, Pumping Nylon by Scott Tennant.
Its a collection of exercises for classical guitarists to develop their technique and its pretty much a 'must have' book in the CG world. As Michael says, a lot of the principles are just as applicable to flamenco guitarists.
The section on 'speed bursts' are worth the price of the book alone if you are one of those people that tries to tackle things like tremolo and rapid picado by starting really slow and then notching up the metronome one beat at a time.

BTW, Scott was taught by the Romeros, who have strong links with flamenco. One of Pepe Romero's early albums was a flamenco album.
