Excellent, straight to the point
Don't worry about the slight .Net presence in the book; there is no "new generation" of COM+ in .Net, .Net simply includes COM+ (of course there is a new name for it: Enterprise Services, but this is just pure marketing matter)!
I haven't finished the book yet, but I can say Juval found the right way in explaining most of the COM+ features and why are they indispensable in building enterprise apps by focusing on the business logic and not on the plumbing (object pooling for supporting scalability, transaction management, synchronization etc). The writing style is clear, the content is exhaustive enough for covering all the aspects of COM+/.Net Enterprise Services and, the last but not the least, the book has less than 400 pages.
Other recommended books about COM+:
-Transactional COM+, by Tim Ewald: if you need to know more COM+ internals about contexts, apartments etc.
-Programming Distributed Apps with COM+ and VB6, by Ted Pattison: excellent lecture, easy and explains very well the "why"s.
- Visual Basic and COM+ Programming: by Peishu Li. Very similar style with Juval's book, except that the code is VB instead of C++.
Rating: 3 out of 5
Beware...COM Services and some pages about .NET
Don't get me wrong!! It's a great book, for understanding COM+ and use it, without all the headache of learning "why".
But i think many people would believe is a good about .NET and how to use COM Services, but you will get only a few pages about implementing both technologies together.
But, like i've said, it's a good book about COM Services.

Very Good Condition(Just like New)
The book was in excellent condition and looks like new. Although the shipping was 2 days late but based on the book condition its worth waiting.
I can rate A++.
