Excerpts from Traktor Pro Bible have been published already in "Visual MIDI Guide" and some of the Traktor Bible Tutorials. Here some feedback by Traktor users, either received in the Traktor user forum or in emails.
The tutorial is truly one of the first that delivers as an instructional work should. Though I am one of those that dives right in and applies the application to my needs, going through the Beatgridding steps should me the real power of this soft-ware and took my skills to a new level. […]
Thanks for the time invested in this material...it taught me that literature is good for DJ's too.

I read the manual, but the Beatgridding Tutorial that I downloaded helped me a lot. Thanks very much.

How about bundling the Traktor Bible as the advanced reference guide with TP/TSP?

Best tutorial I have seen on the subject; document is nicely worded compared to Traktor manuals.

description
The Traktor Pro Bible is the practically oriented compendium covering all aspects of digital DJing with Traktor Pro and Traktor Scratch Pro. The book provides answers to questions that Traktor newbies are faced with and it also covers features that experienced users may struggle with. The selection and the weighting of the topics were strongly influenced by research in the Traktor user forum on the Native Instruments website. This was to make sure that the issues that prey large on the minds of Traktor users are covered in detail and that useful solutions can be provided.
The Traktor Pro Bible uses a more practically oriented approach than the official Traktor documentation. In the Traktor Pro Bible all information regarding one topic is brought together in one chapter and things are explained from a practical point of view. This includes documenting the MIDI commands that are needed for automating the workflow.
For example, the chapter covering cue points and loops describes how cue points and loops are set and stored in the Traktor user interface. Additionally, the same chapter contains all information about the MIDI commands of the presented features. This approach makes it very easy to map the necessary functions to the keyboard or a MIDI controller.
Several chapters contain tutorials with step-by-step explanations of the more complicated Traktor features. Many “HOW-TO-Sections” show how certain functions can be carried out, and how they can be implemented via MIDI mapping.
