Oh ya, I wrote that one :D

...but not if you're in the UK. Murray, fortunately for him, is not.

This book retails at $49.99 (£28) in the US, but Amazon UK list only used 
copies that start at £88.70 ($158).

Amusingly, the user books section of the Amazon US site lists two sources: one 
at $24.99, the other at $198.37.

Perhaps Amazon should vet its partners better.

 Now what do I do to see each number preceding its heading in 
 my book's ToC?

Well, others have introduced you to the concept of $paranum and
$paranumonly, which may be what you were missing (in the FM 6 User
Guide, see pp. 346-350). But based on what you said, I'm wondering if
that's the only problem: 

 I have created a paragraph numbering tag for each type of 
 heading in my chapter ToC, e.g. toc12 is $chapnum.n=0. 

What do you mean by chapter ToC? And what's toc12 -- the name of one
of your heading paragraph formats? It's an odd choice of name (compared
to, say, Head1), so I'm wondering what you really mean by paragraph
numbering tag (there's no such thing; there are paragraph tags, or
formats, and they may have an autonumber as one of their settings). 

 I have added the number manually to each heading in my 
 chapter ToC, and to each heading in the chapter. 

If that's really true, you're doing something seriously wrong. The whole
point of adding an autonumber to a paragraph tag definition is so that
it will -- you know -- automatically have a number. Are you really
manually adding numbers? If so, you don't have autonumbers, and you need
to read pp. 113-122 of the User Guide. 

HTH!
