guidebooks recommendation for Andalusia?

This is coming to you from Colorado. Family and I are intending a two weeker to Andalusia in Sept of next year specifically Sevilla, Cordoba, & Grenada, Jerez. Maybe some others towns, and to start planning, would appreciate any recommendations for a guidebook, available in the US, that focuses on Andalusia. We'll be mostly trying to stay with public transit, but short term auto rental (hire) will be feasible, if needed. Hope to see a bullfight, if that can be made an option. Also interested in oenotourism. Any ideas/book suggestions?

The Goyesca bullfight in Ronda takes place in early Sept., but tickets are hard to come by and are quite expensive.

Rough Guide is weak on restaurants and hotels, but is edgy and opinionated. And it includes smaller towns

I would also photocopy the pages you need from Michelin Green Spain, if you can get it from your library.

Fodor's has really improved their Spain guide including Andalucia. Once again see if you can copy the needed pages.

Michael Jacobs' Andalucía "looks with fresh eyes at all the traditional delights of Andalucia while doing full justice to the lesser-known aspects of the region" http://www.andalucia.com/books/andal...michael-jacobs

And the greatest and most important flamenco festival in the world goes on in Sevilla September next year, the Bienal de Flamenco. The finest flamenco artists on stages in theaters all around town for some three weeks, some 80 concerts and lots of side activities, outdoor concerts, late night flamenco clubs (peñas) etc. http://www.labienal.com/en/
