Toad that was a Prince 
If you need a quick check of something you don't recall the details, this will probably assist you admirably. As in most of the O'Reilly pocket paperbacks, this one is a wonderful resource. It requires you be knowleable of Toad. If you are looking for something to instruct you in the use of Toad, you may want a more substancial book. This one includes some tips and tricks that should prove beneficial to most experienced Toad users. As a quick reference the layout is good and the table of contents makes it easy to find what you need. There is not alot of meat on these bones, but the meat is pretty good. For more in depth explainations you may want to look at the Toad Handbook by Bert Scalzo and Dan Hotka.

Great little references to the shortcuts you're looking for
This little reference is excellent. I've used TOAD awhile now and saw there were 2 books coming out on it - this on and the TOAD handbook. Great that it just happened to be written on the version I'm using now - 7. 4. The book however is based on TOAD's core functionality and not really so much on new features. Just skimming through I came across some features I hadn't even used.
It's does touch on the optional add-ins you can get for TOAD (if you get the commericial version) like the DBA module. It had plenty for me on the debugger. If you're looking for a tutorial, this isn't it, though it does remind you about looking in the docs folder for TOAD documentation in PDF. This little guide is a great reference.
