Almost ok - READ THIS
As you can see, there are not many books on the subject. However, this book contains very few code lines and it is not organized well. The fact that a programming book does not have even 1 (!) full example can't be good. You will get a fair amount of information from this book; however, YOU WILL visit MSDN regularly. The author spend time on known subjects like performance again and again (although that C++ programmers are well aware to this subject) and less to the whole concept of the templates. He is breaking up all the objects very well, but failing terribly in providing the whole system. A "nice to have" book as a second or third reference. Don't buy it as first.

OK book... very lacking in examples
This book isn't exactly what I had hoped for. It seems that only about 30% of the book is actually devoted to "Consumer Templates" and the other 70% talks about raw OLE DB interfaces. However, since it is the only book that covers anything on consumer templates ... it is better than nothing.

This is a good Book handling some advanced OLE DB topics.
The coverage for basic OLE DB is not good in this book. To get a decent coverage of this in my opinion you can do no better than: "Beginning Components for ASP" which not only explains basic OLE DB well, but also explains MTS and Writing components for ATL to work with ASP amongst other things.
