It's very user friendly.

Open your book in SIGIL. Highlight your first
chapter heading and then select H1 over on the left (where it says NORMAL). Slide down to the next chapter heading and perform it again. When you've got them all marked as an H1 (or H2 if you want them smaller) Click on TOOLs and open the TOC Editor. Check to make sure all your chapters are there. Un-check anything that isn't supposed to be in there such as blanks.
Go to the Metadata drop down under TOOLS and add your Title and Author. You can add other Metadata here too.....
You can also add a chapter break and designate a Title Page/Dedication Page/Epilogue Page etc. by opening up BOOK BROWSER under VIEW and using Control/Left Click (on a Mac, it may vary with a PC) and designate each HTML you've just seperted out (with the Chapter break) as such when the drop down appears "Add Semantics". Just select Dedication/Epilogue or whatever for each new HTML you created when you did a Chapter Break. It isn't necessary to break your chapters into separate HTMLs with the chapter break.
If you want the book to start with Preface then leave it alone and "living" in the same HTML as the rest of your book -the portion you have not modified by using the "Add Semantics" drop down.
Make sense?
