Summary: ATL is finally easy to understand!
Comment: I had often looked into Atlbase.h, Atlcom.h et al. and quickly got lost into so many structures and templates floating around. I have read many books on ATL, and the Online doucumentation..but things did not click! After just reading chapters 3,4, and 5 of the book, it is now a joy to look under the hoods of ATL and "get it". It is, by far, one of the best well-written books I have read.
Rating: 4
Summary: Users of Visual Studio .Net beware...
Comment: If you are limiting your development to Visual Studio 6.0, then this book is the perfect text for learning ATL 3.0; a five-star book all the way.
On the other hand, if you are using Visual Studio .Net with ATL 7.0, then I would advise borrowing this book from a friend or buying it used. 75% of the information contained carries over to ATL 7.0, but the other 25% has a few gottchas. For example, the authors mention a suite of undocumented ATL classes for the Windows controls (CButton, CListBox, etc.), but these classes have been removed from ATL 7.0. OUCH! It *is* tempting to use them! :^) There are also a lot of new classes added to ATL 7.0 that could use the explanatory skills of Mr. Rector, et al. I give this book a three-star usability rating with ATL 7.0, therefore, the four-star rating over-all.
This is a good book that is in need of an update-a fate shared, sooner or later, by most computer books. I hope the authors and the publisher have a new one in the works.

Summary: This is a six star book
Comment: ATL internals is the final word on ATL. No other book is needed to master ATL.
I have a good number of books on COM and ATL but getting the low down on ATL starts and ends in this book. The coverage in unbeleiveable. It will make you think you were part of the ATL implementation team.
This book is not a short cut for learning COM programming.You should have a good understanding of how COM works and you also need to know your c++ well(emphasis on well. This book does not teach c++)
However, considering the .NET revolution, ATL may not be of much use for much longer.But if for some reason you need to learn ATL, this book is the ATL University.
