SQLObject is a big topic, and the document at SQLObject.org covers the
major points, but it's certainly not exhaustive. You can get some more
insight by looking at the API reference at TurboGears.org.
You can do book.destroySelf(), if you have an instance in hand.

Actually, TurboGears does not install any database. One of the
documentation improvements that will happen is that it will be clearer
on the site that no database comes with TurboGears and there will be
instructions on how to get set up for various databases. I believe the
wiki already has some instructions.
easy_install pysqlite
may do the trick for you.

There's no functional difference, when it comes to rendered output.
The difference is at design time. If you'd like to use the templates
in your browser, using py:attrs and py:content works better because
you can have functional placeholders there.
