    I'm looking for a copy of a book on the 330 P3/4. It was part of a series of books published through Cavallino magazine. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    There are two that spring to mind, immediately, David:

    Ferrari 330/P4 by Paulo Marasca
    ISBN 0-7603-1081-5. Published 2001 by MBI.
    135 pages. Slipcased. Foreward by Chris Amon. Includes 1:32 scale plans; Many B&W period photos; Race history by event and 20 pages of colour photos of the Pierre Bardinon collection P4 spyder, chassis #0860. Limited edition of 1000. Price (was originally) £99.50.
    In my opinion, what should have been the ultimate volume on the subject, is let down by poor quality, grainy reproductions of some of the B&W photographs, and somewhat wordy translation from the original Italian text. Also, what initially impresses is the 41mm thick slipcase, which turns out to contain a mere 11mm thickness of pages. Not particularly good value for money !

    and this is probably the one you're thinking of:

    Ferrari P3/412P by Christian Huet (Cavalleria series #11)
    ISBN 3-905268-08-6. Published 1995 by Cavalleria S.A..
    109 pages. Slipcased. Italian / English / French text. Includes development; Race history and records / technical specifications by chassis number. Many good quality B&W and colour period photos and 28 pages of colour photos of the Scuderia Filipinetti 412P, chassis #0848. Originally priced at £55.00, the Cavalleria series was being offered by Mill House books at £39.99.
    Although not actually dedicated to the P4, this probably remains the best value all-round book on the subject. Only let down by a weak spine binding and the number of 2” square photos on the text pages, which could have looked so much better blown up !
