Personally my own way of using the MM is definitely to prepare the game. That's why I would like it well-organized, like a manual, not like a dictionary.I never use a MM at the table because (a) except the rare case of a solo monsters, it will be a page-flipping nightmare, and (b) it's either books OR food at my gaming table <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />To solve problem (a), I've always resorted to photocopies or using the SRD on a laptop.But then if I ever have to find up a monster quickly in a MM, alphabetical order doesn't really speed it up much compared to alphabetical index with page number.</blockquote>
