Well, as a confirmation of my own "reference material on physical 
desktop, active computations on monitor screen" approach (or maybe just 
my own compulsive character), I have literally razor-bladed my copy of 
Navigator in 30 separate chapters, each held by a mini binder clip, all 
of them standing upright in a box on my self.  (Thank god he followed 
the long-standing publishing practice of starting each chapter on a 
right-hand page.)

When I need to get into some new Mathematica topic (stylesheet editing, 
manipulations,  difference equations, whatever), the relevant chapter 
comes over on the desktop to get consulted, highlighted and marked up.  
I wish he'd sell the book as a boxed set something like this -- or at 
least a spiral-bound folio-sized lie-flat version.
