Summary: Turgid Tome
Review: This epic weighs in at around 770 pages, and it's pretty bad. With stunning insights such as: "If your COM add-in has a user interface, it must be integrated with the host application in some way, so the user can interact with it.", it's no wonder many trees had to die. Very, very poor editing job. I suspect a good technical editor could have gotten rid of 40% of the words in here and left only the information that I was hoping to find. Even then, much of the infromation is very superficial. I would recommend waiting for the third party books to appear.
