The Mary Niven book is the only English in print Flanders manual, but there are some other books on Flanders. Vera Cockuyt wrote (in English) a how to manual and a book of patterns, both self published in comb bindings, in black and white only. I don't know its current printing status. J.H. Rombach de Kevied (may be misspelt) wrote a book in Dutch that is also available in German. It's a physically small book, but has a lot of information and patterns. It went out of print fairly recently, so there are probably still a few unsold copies around. Tierisch Flandrisch by Inge Theuerkauf is a book of patterns with some Flanders grounds, in German with an English by me. It isn't a Flanders manual, but as it uses the international colour code it is possible to use this book without having done Flanders before, but this would not be easy. There are pictures of some of the patterns on my web site: http://www.sandbenders.demon.co.uk/bobbinlace/tierisch.htm -- I was not lying. I said things that later on seemed to be untrue.
