The Juan Serrano book isn't that bad. It's useful if you want to learn his style of flamenco and the ieami rasgueado (will take you forever to master). He doesn't go into enough detail on compas. If you're looking for basics, I suggest you try Juan Martin's book El Arte de la guitarra.

The keys to Flamenco is Great and probably the best instructional flamenco out there.
Pumping Nylon is excellent for technical development.
