Check out Dan Miser's site http://www.execpc.com/dmiser~ As he is a Delphi/Com guru his list of reccommended book is probably the best.

Long time no speak! Com, DCom, Microsoft Transaction server, Patterns, Interfaces. I would like to find some really good books on the above subject. Something that starts from the very simplest, and takes me all the way, covering Design, and creation of these components using Delphi 4. How to deply them, when to use them, design issues, Standards definitions, etc etc. In other words, a book that will help me obtain in depth knowledge of these subjects. Any referances would be very much appreciated.
