Personal picks ... since you ave a decent book that covers 'old pl/sql', I recommend the following, in order:

1. Oracle Press:"Effective Oracle by Design" - Tom Kyte
   • a must-have if you have any interest in performance, scale, ...
2. APress!: "Mastering Oracle PL/SQL" - Connor McDonald
   • the subtitle 'Practical SOlutions' explains it all
3. Oracle doc: "PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference"
   • avoid duplicating Oracle's pre-built solutions
4. Oracle doc: "PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference"
   • just cause ... see the new features section
5. O'Reilly: "Mastering Oracle SQL" Mishra & Beaulieu
   • avoid PL when SQL will do, especially with the lastest improvements
6. Oracle doc: "Application Developer's Guide - yyy"
   • guidelines for general and specialty coding

Oracle docs are at http://docs.oracle.com, and the 10g specificaly are http://otn.oracle.com/pls/db10g/portal.portal_demo3?selected=1
