I just sent away for a "Ramsey FM30" FM transmitter, build it yourself
kit. It's only 25 mW and I want to maximize the power in one direction.
Can anybody direct me to an antenna for sale or give me a link to a
page to build my own. I would also appreciate any comments on this unit
or tips on its construction. Should be here early next week. Thanks in
advance.

I dunno your local regs but often these sort of unlicensed FM transmitters
are restricted to an ERP which won't cause problems to others. Upping the
ERP by use of other than a simple aerial breaks this concession. If you
need a greater range other frequencies are available for this.

An FM band Yagi antenna will provide you with the best directional
characteristics. As noted above, the FCC (if you're in the US) might frown on
you putting one of these on an unlicensed transmitter, but the legalities and
consequences are for you to investigate. Directional FM antennae that you can
buy:
