   Several magazines feature ads for small businesses that cater to this
market.  I would recommend Model Aviation and Flying Models.  I am at work,
but let me think.  One place is called something like Indoor Model Supplies.
I just cannot think of the names, though I should. Yes, there are several
good books.  My local library has one.  Same suppliers usually carry the
books.  Look for small ads featuring rubber powered stuff (I forgot to
mention that they are rubber powered).  Sterling made a number of kits for
Peanut scale, and local hobby stores here still have those kits, plus a few
other brands of kits.  The Sterling kits were not the best, but the name is
more widely known among hobby store proprietors, so the Sterling kits may
be easier to find.

   An interesting feature of Peanut scale competition is that since the 
models are so easy to ship in ready to fly form, there are mail type contests!
The host club provide proxy flyers who do their best to get the most out of
your model.  They then send model back to you.

   Suggest if you haven't flown rubber models for a few years, (or ever) try
out a non-scale medium size model to get back your building and trimming
skills.  A little bit of a wing warp in a 13 inch model can make for some
pretty drastic flight characteristics!  Incidently, Peanut is a recognized
competition catagory of the AMA.

PS I will bring a model magazine in tomorrow and list some more of the 
sources.
