Although a little outdated, it's still valid: "Automation Programmer's Reference" by Microsoft Press.
If you plan to automate Word, you should also read about the Word Automation Object Model on MSDN.

Is this supposed to be a joke, homey - or is it just pure ignorance?

The term "Automation" has multiple meanings and I think that the subject of that book is not Windows Automation.

I used the United States Library of Congress catalog to find the following. The US LOC I think does not have books published outside the US so there might be other books published elsewhere. Also my search criteria might not have gotten all relevant books.
