    You should be able to get it from your local FAA.
    They also put out a nice Amateur Built Aircraft Reference Material
manual (I picked one up at this past Sun 'N Fun), consisting of:

*  AC20-27E, Certification and Operation of Amateur-Built Aircraft --
This AC provides information and guidance in the building, certification
and operation of amateur-built aircraft. Word Version also available. 
(I see they just updated this to Rev. E -- I had rewrote it for the FAA
to become Rev. D back in 1988 :-O )

*  AC20-139, Commercial Assistance During Construction of Amateur-Built
Aircraft -- Explains FAA regulations and policy regarding commercial
assistance during the fabrication and assembly of amateur-built
aircraft.

*  AC21-12B, Application for U.S. Airworthiness Certificate, Form 8130-6

*  AC90-89A, Amateur-Built Aircraft & Ultralight Flight Testing Handbook
-- This AC sets forth suggestions and safety related recommendations to
assist amateur and ultralight builders in developing individualized
aircraft flight test plans.

*  AC65-23A, Certification of Repair Persons (Experimental Aircraft
Builders) -- This AC provides guidance to builders of amateur-built
aircraft concerning their certification as repairmen.

*  AC39-7C, Airworthiness Directives -- This AC provides guidance and
information to owners and operators of aircraft concerning their
responsibility for complying with airworthiness directives (AD) and
recording AD compliance in the appropriate maintenance records.

*  AC103-7, The Ultralight Vehicle -- This advisory circular provides
guidance to the operators of ultralights in the United States. It
discusses the elements which make up the definition of ultralight
vehicles for the purposes of operating under Federal Aviation Regulation
(14 CFR part 103). It also discusses when an ultralight must be operated
as an aircraft under the regulations applicable to certificated
aircraft.

*  Excerpt from FAA Order 8130.2D, Airworthiness Certification of
Aircraft and Related Products
