There is Mark Hammond's book [1] about python-win32 though I haven't used it and don't know if it contains anything that would be helpful to you. It is rather old now but some claim that is not important. [2] Personally I consider Python-win32 to be docware -- software that is sufficiently difficult to use with the included free documentation that many people will just buy the $$$ documentation. Numpy is another prominent example of docware. A misappropriation of the good- will value of legitimate open source software.
