Patent Law Blog (Patently-O): Best Book for Learning Patent Law Practice?: "I send my paralegals to a paralegal seminar by PLI (i believe). It is Paralegal specific, which is nice.
There are a lot of books out there, but ultimately just read the MPEP.

Steve Shear does an excellent set of workshops that focus on the nitty-gritty aspects of patent law. His company is Silicon Valley Seminars. http://patentseminars.com/ The workbooks have excellent examples of all the forms, templates, letters, etc. that you will see during prosecution. They are excellent references for what a type of letter or form should look like.
Many of his seminars are directed toward paralegals and newbie attorneys/agents."
