I like "Mastering CP/M" by Alan R. Miller, published by SYBEX.

I've got two "regular" Model 4's, and I run Mont. Micro CP/M
exclusively.  None of this TRASHDOS stuff.  I also run a BBS on it,
with the overlays on the RAMDISK for fast loading.  Does the 4P have
the RAMDISK?  

I use BDS C as my C compiler.  It compiles and runs fast, but
doesn't support every "standard C" function.  It is very inexpensive.
