Wallace, a multi-platform programmer who has turned his knowledge recently toward writing technical manuals, has addressed this book to active programmers who are new to Component Object Model... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Even though this Book might not be the Best book to learn every thing about COM/DCOM/Automation, atleast it will great foundation about the basic programming and the History of evolution of the same. Probably you can build on basic Practical programming in these areas.

The fact the Mr. Wallace dedicated two big chapters to ActiveX, which includes builds in both ATL and MFC makes this book a definite addition in my reference library. If you read this book from cover to cover you kind of get lost in the process but as a programmer how reads cover to cover you just read the section you need.

If you want to know more about SAFEARRAY, VARIANT, and BSTR how to write codes as associating with objects, you MUST buy that book! I would recommend that.
