Has anyone written a booklet about all the playable individual chords on a Five String tuned EADGC?

High C Five String EADGC Chord Forms

if you can find it, you may want to check out "Chord Bassics" by Jonas Hellborg. It was released in the 80s, and it only covers 4 string. However you can take the forms and play them over a string or up the octave as needed.
Ditto on Janek's Chordal Harmony books, volumes 1 & 2.
The Heloborg book would be a good primer to the Janek books, if you can find a copy.

Just thinking out loud:
but essentially this set up is a 6 String without the Low-B. (much like the traditional 5-string is like a 6-string with out the High-C)
I would look for some 6-string materials and cop those... I would think they would translate to your 'needs' even though you dont have the Lower 5 notes on the B string (Or extended positional range without Low B.. like the low G on the 8th fret of the B string rather than the 3rd fret of the E string kinda thing: you can go higher up the register with use of the C string to the same extent but opposite direction).
