Yes, sigil have a tutorial that is wonderful -- you can click on it from 'home' on the sigil website. It doesn't tell you everything about everything, but my goodness, its a good basic starting point.

The whole issue of TOCs is what led me to sigil in the first place, as I'm slowly epub'ing well loved books and magazines that my eyes can't see any more -- its really useful to be able to jump to the bits that you want. And to have calibre there to cuastomise enormous font sizes.

Another useful document, on the sigil wiki I think, is called prioofreading an epub document, and goes through the various points. Its a very handy check list and should help you spot any obvious flaw.

If you don't want to fiddle about, I suppose, if its your epub production and you have the proofed oriinal .txt file, why not start5 from scratch and run it through sigil, a very fast process, doing all 'four recommended steps' (epub conversion, meta info, TOC, (forgot no.4!) and see if that comes out better.
