It has been more than a couple of years since my last printed antenna 
design.  There is a program called mpac that can do some fairly basic 
stuff with patch antennas.  Of course wcalc (http://wcalc.sf.net) can 
help with feed lines.

Last I looked, I wasn't really happy with any books, but I'm certainly 
out of date with that opinion.  If I'm able to find any of the papers I 
used, I'll post the references.
