"El Toque Flamenco" by Angel Alvarez Caballero

I am interested in possibly ordering this book online, but I can't find very much information listed about it. Has anyone here read this book or studied from it? Is this a useful, valuable book to have as a reference or study guide for flamenco guitar playing?

Is it more of a historical / cultural guide, or does it have lots of muscial examples or exercises? Or both?

Anyone with any additional info about this book, please let me know, so I can decide whether or not to buy it online! Thank you!

The writer is a well known flamenco critic here in Spain.

This is the third book in his trilogy about flamenco, the other two being about dance and cante. I've not read it but it will be the history of guitar playing as opposed to a how to play the guitar book. Will have a closer look if I see it in the shops.
