No, nor do I have any interest, etc.
I just posted an accurate answer to the question. Of course, if someone wants FREE tabs, that's another matter. But this wasn't stated. Maybe it's taken for granted here?

The answer to that's simple as well: Alain Faucher has done more flamenco tabs (by a very large margin) than anyone I know. He's been doing it ever since I can remember, and I've been playing over forty years. They're also extremely accurate.
It's a pity they're so expensive, of course; it's often seemed to me that he'd make more money if he lowered the price and thus sold more copies. But that's for him to decide.

I totally agree his accuracy can't be found anywhere else I have couple of his books and willing to buy more in the future but as you mentioned they're crazily expensive for ordinary books

Thank you.
I see most people are asking for tabs instead of staff notation: I used to do tabs all the time since they're much quicker and easier to write than old those dots. But since I got a computer (in 1989) I've done things in Finale, for a variety of reasons -- not least because I write for Classical Guitar magazine.
I'll have a poke around and see if I can find those old tabs. They're in pencil, so they may not scan that well, though.
