A new book about Joan Carles Amat - the author of the earliest treatise about the 5-course guitar - has recently been published.
It's Quintana I Segal`a, Joan-Xavier and others L'emprenta del monistrolenc Joan Carles Amat. L'Ajuntament de Monistrol de Monserrat, 2014. Diposit legal B-17657-2014. It's in Catalan but has lots of photos and is not difficult to understand if you know Spanish.
