	Actually, I believe that it is 37 CFR that has the relevant
patent regulations.  You are correct about the MPEP though.

	I've also seen several books on do-it-yourself patent work
in the bookstore. Most likely they are from Nolo Press. Perhaps you
should check around your better bookstores in the "(consumer) law"
section.
