Writing on the list is always better (I readded it) because:
1/ people actually learn from what we write
2/ maybe someone else will step up to help me :)

So blind that you forgot a \ before "thesection" on the second line :)

mwbk is a document class that is supposed to be tailored for books
written in Polish. I doubt this is what you want to do. If you want a
high quality and customizable class, I suggest to look up memoir. It
has a great manual that first explains how to typeset a book and
second how to use memoir commands.
Note that some memoir commands are not (yet) supported transparently
by LyX.

I think the fix I pointed above will be sufficient to get you started.
If you want to read about LaTeX, the TeXbook is definitely not the
first book to read. You could maybe try the not so short introduction
to LaTeX
http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/info/lshort/english/lshort.pdf
or the memoir class documentation
