As I've mentioned before, there is very little information available to learn Fado or the Portuguese guitar. There is also very little to suggest that Fado is indeed a healthy, vibrant art form. In fact Fado has been placed on the UNESCO endangered cultural heritage list. Many of the of the materials one encounters seem to be from another epoch all together.
Eurico A. Cebolo is a publisher of music instruction books in Portugal similar to Mel Bay here in the U.S. I bought a beginning Portuguese guitar method from the site of Ron Fernandez a month or so ago and it's filled with great chord charts and scale studies.
But the best part of this book is the rather unusual aesthetic of the publisher.

Have a look at some of the wonderfully trippy book covers from Mr. Cebolo. I really love the big blocky fonts.
I just had to share.
