I gave mine away.

It is interesting but there is a fair bit in it I disagree with. You would probably learn more and more quickly by listening transcribing and trying to understand how some simple falsetas have been put together.

If you are a strong music reader and have listened to a lot of flamenco then it will be more useful. It was a good idea and I think that more of this kind of book should be available but not very practical for say a beginner and pretty useless if you don't already have a lot of theory. Also to my ear a lot of the time signatures are wrong.

Here is an editorial review from the site you quoted.

'Product Description
Flamenco Music Theory is an analysis of the specific elements related to its expression: from, rhythm, melody and harmony. Composers and artists from other musical genres can become familiar with flamenco by learning more about its musical elements, while students in music schools and conservatories will find Flamenco Music Theory useful as a textbook for further study.'

This seems pretty accurate to me and the book stands well for this intention. It is definitely not a practical manual for guitarists though.

One of the 3 reviews on Amazon is by a certain "Hugo". A look at his profile reveals that he has exactly 2 reviews, that they are both for books by Lola Fernández and that they both get 5 stars.

Possibly coincidence, of course. But his review isn’t exactly a mine of information.
