Is there *any* real documentation to PyWin32?

PyWin32 is free, and writing extensive documentation would be a huge
undertaking. Besides, since it's mostly a one-to-one mapping between
the Win32 API and Python, it would be a bit boring to do.

Besides, few people write GUI apps with Python (there are better
alternatives like Delphi or VB), and those who do usually prefer to
use cross-platform tools like wxWidgets.

Like others have mentionned, apparently the only book available is
this:
