The TurboGears book has both good points and bad points.  You won't be 
sorry you own it if you have it but it isn't the end-all-be-all either.

If you use sqlalchemy instead of sqlobject, then what you need for a 
model is *very* well documented at http://www.sqlalchemy.org/.  So 
despite the fact that sqlobject is somewhat easier to use, i'd highly 
recommend sqlalchemy for this reason alone.

For tutorials, I'm not sure what's out there... I started with tg-admin 
quickstart  and then adapting the project to see what worked and what 
didn't.  I liked having good reference material when I did that -- 
sqlalchemy.org, genshi.edgewall.org, cherrypy.org, and some turbogears.org.
