This book takes you to places that no other book on VB and COM has ever dared
go. If you're a Visual Basic developer who refuses to recognize the commonly
accepted limitations of VB, this book is definitely for you. You'll learn
programming techniques that will give your applications unbelievable boosts in
performance and flexibility. - Ted Pattison
